1. A bottle of Homecourt Handwash, which is, in my humble opinion, the best-smelling hand soap there's ever been. This gentle formula is a spiffy way to treat yourself when having a baby around means washing your hands 24/7. Plus, it leaves you smelling so *fancy* you'll forget you were covered in spit-up mere moments before.

Amazon

 If I could marry this hand soap I would, because I want us to share a long and happy life together. 

Promising review: "This is worth every penny. You won't be disappointed. The smell is amazing and it leaves my hands clean but not dried out. The fragrance keep me buying for years to come." —Vicki Aukerman 

Get it from Amazon for $36 (available in four scents).

2. A chic Windmill window AC so your bedroom's aesthetic isn't ruined by your need for AC. Reviewers (and this very BuzzFeed writer!) love that this is efficient, quiet, easy to install, and can be controlled by a smartphone. The fact that this can be turned on using voice control was the single best thing to happen to my marriage last year, when neither of us had to get out of bed to change the temperature. Bless. 

Avery Felman / BuzzFeed

Windmill is an independent AC brand boasting three generations of family knowledge in the air conditioner business, with an updated design worth appreciating.

Promising review: "Not only is this unit sleek and discreet looking, but it is also so quiet and works so well! It keeps our room so cool. So happy we got this. Such a huge plus that you can control it from your phone as well as the remote!" —Chelsea G.

Get it from Windmill $369+ (available in four BTU levels). 

3. A flush mount conversion kit with everything you'll need to cover up that garish ceiling light you'd rather pretend doesn't exist. This shade is so gorgeous, you may even appreciate that ol' ugly lamp just because it gives you a reason to get this!

Urban Outfitters

It fits over a maximum diameter of 13.75 inches so be sure to measure your light fixture first.

Promising review: "This changed my entire space dynamic!!! Soooo easy to install, I wish they had more prints. I would buy them for my whole house!!!" —SassafrasH

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $89 (available in three designs).

4. A Ninja Crispi *Pro* 6-in-1 glass air fryer — upgraded from the previous model, this icon of a kitchen appliance boasts six functions: max crisp, air fry, bake, roast, dehydrate, and re-crisp. I've got a toddler who lives off of french fries, you better believe that re-crisp function has its hooks in me. It's teeny tiny but a whopping 1,800-watt air fryer (meaning it can cook a 7.5-pound chicken without breaking a sweat). AND...you get to watch it all happen. I'm such a sucker for this unnecessarily cool design. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

It comes with the air fryer, one 6-quart glass container, one 2.5-quart glass container, a removable base, two crisper plates, two storage lids, and a chef-inspired recipe book.

Promising review: "This Ninja Crispi Pro blew me away. I’ve owned a lot of kitchen gadgets over the years, but this one instantly became a top-tier favorite. It’s powerful, it’s simple, and everything about it just works. The controls are easy to understand, the performance is consistent, and the food comes out perfect every single time — crispy where it should be crispy, juicy where it should be juicy. I use it for quick meals, full dinners, reheats…everything. It saves time, keeps the kitchen clean, and honestly makes cooking fun again. I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase. If you’re thinking about getting one, don’t hesitate. It’s absolutely worth it." —Darnell

Get it from Amazon for $299.95 (available in three colors).

5. A hanging fruit hook that'll add to your home's stunning secret garden aesthetic. These charming metal hangers put the "fun" in "functional," folks!

Anthropologie

P.S. The hardware to hang these is included.

Promising review: "Such a charming and functional addition to any space! Perfect for hanging coats and other entryway items with a unique and playful twist." —rose0872

Get it from Anthropologie for $38 (available in three styles). 

6. An angled bamboo cabinet with frosted glass to disguise the clutter inside and a design so chic folks are gonna automatically think your home is as good lookin' as it gets!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Exactly as pictured. It looks nice and high quality. Assembly was pretty easy, and the needed tools were included. Very well and carefully packaged, it arrived in perfect condition. I love the size, design, and functionality. I got it to store glasses by my water cooler, and it’s perfect with the adjustable shelf. Overall — love it!" —Pamela H.

Get it from Amazon for $104.99+ (available in five styles). 

7. A Zojirushi rice cookerthat's well known and well worth investing in, because it can intuitively adjust cooking times and temps based on the type of rice you use and the moisture levels it clocks. This 5.5-cup cooker, warmer, and steamer has several different settings and can cook far more than just rice. We're talkin' everything from vegetables to CAKE, people! 

Amazon

 Promising review: "OMG, this is a must-have. I can't believe it took me this long to get a Zojirushi. We use it almost daily for steel-cut oats, for which it is perfect. We've also started really getting into bowls for dinner, so we use it 2–3 times a week to make barley, millet, basmati brown rice with saffron, or quinoa. We've mostly used the porridge, brown rice, regular, and occasionally quick settings, but we might play with more. The bowl has a great non-stick coating. I can't recommend it enough." —Mira Krishnan

Get it from Amazon for $218.59+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

8. A ceiling fan carbon filter for grabbing dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as the fan spins. It sticks to the fan blade and is unnoticeable — but you'll definitely notice a difference when you aren't stuck scraping off years of dust from your ceiling fan blades! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

PSA: There's a chance that the included Velcro-like adhesive can become dirt-traps when the filters are removed. Also, some reviewers note that the adhesive peeled the finish off of their fan during removal. If you’re scared of that happening, you can install these filters with Command strips instead!

Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days, the air smelled crisper and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" —Haylee Marez

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $22.99.

9. A Base Vase trio — these clever, clear vials each have a silicone bottom designed to fit snug inside candle holders. Snag a set of these, and you'll be able to update your candles into a floral display. If you don't have much room for storage in your home, products that'll highlight your decor in different ways, thus helping you get more out of what you already have, are sure to make you feel fantastic.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Each pack includes adjusters in case your candle holders run large.

Promising review: "These are multi-functional, timeless, and well-made. I’ve been using both of these personally and for my company, and I can’t recommend them enough. These vases are a key part of how we display florals in our tablescapes. I love that you can put them into any candle holder and it changes the whole vibe! We use them for both faux and real florals. It’s the perfect combination of functionality and style, and I can always count on them to elevate our designs. Highly recommend! I personally have 12, and I’d love to see these come out in larger sets!" —Sasha Pintos

Get a box of three from Amazon for $30+(available in two colors).

10. A CovoBox that's hollow on the inside, so you can cover your Wi-Fi router with elegant "books" instead of leaving it out on display. What a *novel* idea! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Before adding this to your cart, you have the option to customize it, including selecting from 14 lengths and 15 colors (including custom colors). The CovoBox is made from reclaimed books and sustainable wood.

BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah!

Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well-made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this, but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme

Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $39 (available in customizable sizes and colors).

11. A minimalist monthly planner sure to be loved by folks who know they aren't going to be able to organize their schedule, let alone their life, without clear daily instructions right in front of their face. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Being 12x18, it's the perfect size to log your daily activities. I love the spaces for the month's top three priorities, monthly health, person, and career focuses, and the achievements section. It's a very nice planner pad." —Stacey Lee

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five other styles).

12. A Dyson-alternative vacuum with LED headlights that'll upgrade your eyesight so you can be certain there aren't pesky crumbs, dust, or hair left behind. Reviewers dig this 3-pound cleaning tool, raving about its battery life and shockingly powerful clean. Go ahead, sit back and relax after vacuuming, knowing your place is perfectly spic and span.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've had this for a while, and I am happy with it. It cleans everything we (adult, toddler, two cats) throw at it. Cat fur tends to collect in the corners, and the vacuum head handles corners well. I got this to replace an old Dyson stick with a burned-up motor. My home has very little carpet, and this vacuum cleans my floors just as well as the Dyson. It runs at full power longer than the Dyson did at low power. The build quality is great for the price, and the accessories were adequate. All in all, it's a great value. I was pleasantly surprised." —James

Get it from Amazon for $79.98 (available in navy and gold).

13. A sling rack bookshelf — the four tiers of "shelving" are gonna have enough room to store a hearty collection of tiny board and picture books. The speckled material is positively popping with personality *and* the frame, though lightweight, is balanced enough to handle kiddos climbing all around it. And it's not just for kids! This is sure to be a unique and awe-inspiring way to display comics, magazines, cookbooks, and more. 

Amazon

This bookshelf is one of my most treasured purchases for my daughter. I bought two of the versions above for our living room because I love them so much (and because I have, ahem, too many books). I use this specifically for board books. My daughter has been able to get books out of this (without it toppling over on her) since she was old enough to crawl! I firmly believe that having books out and easy for her to access has made her the avid reader she is. I love, love, love this sling shelf system.

Promising review: "This is perfect for a nursery! I needed something that would display my daughter’s books while being easily accessible, but also space-saving. This was just that. It’s great quality, very easy to put together, and looks perfect in the small space I needed it for! I’d recommend to anyone!" —Abby M.

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in 13 styles).

14. A charming cherry carafe so you can replace the plastic water bottle you've been filling up and keeping by your bedside table — in the cheeriest, cherry-est, way possible.

www.amazon.com

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

Promising review: "Very dainty and caviar-esque. I love it! I have to be delicate with this piece, as I don’t want to break it. It’s beautiful, easy to clean, and just freaking cute." —Diamond Girl

Get it from Ban.do on Amazon for$39.95. 

15. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher to transform the dumbest of devices into smart machines worthy of this century (as long as they have a pressable "on/off" switch). Have Alexa control these gadgets and gizmos with an app instead! Getting up to start the coffee maker is way too much effort before you've had coffee.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in two colors).

16. A wall-mounted hair dryer holder, because shoving your dryer and its bulky cord into the tiny drawer under your sink is a constant frustration. Eliminate that unnecessary struggle by giving your dryer the eye-catching spot it deserves!  

Amazon

See it in all its pretty glory in Teresa Caruso's TikTok video.

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four styles).

17. A bold Bluetooth speaker for folks who wanna take their background music seriously during their next dinner party by using a speaker so gorgeous it deserves to be the centerpiece.

Get it from Ikea for $49.99 (available in three colors).

18. A Chomp wall cleaner complete with a baseboard duster, dry dust and wet mop cleaning pads, and a microfiber cover.

Plus, you can clean your baseboards without bending (and breaking) your back.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a game changer, y'all! I'm awestruck! I have arthritis all over and a limited income, and this helped me clean every single wall in my bedroom in one day. I just rinsed out the yellow head in the sink every few square feet. I'm so excited and telling all my friends!" —Lou DeJesus

Get it from Amazon for $39.97.

19. A washable pee pad to replace the disposable pads you keep payin' for (and desperately try to hide in your home) with a reusable version so surprisingly good-looking no one will guess what it actually is. This has a non-slip, grippy bottom and several available styles, so you're sure to find one that best matches your home's aesthetic.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

You can use them for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, bunnies, etc. And they're also great for whelping boxes.

Promising review: "This item was the perfect choice for my bunnies’ pen. The design is gorgeous. I wanted something light and easy to maneuver under their heavier acrylic pen, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Washed and dried, and kept its shape. Its leakproof and waterproof design helps with pet mess and water bowl spillage, ensuring a nice dry space for bunny flops. Two in a pack allows me to switch out when washing, so my buns are always protected. I cannot say enough about this brand and the value overall will have me coming back as needed when I expand their pen." —Sam Cam

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in various prints and sizes).

20. A pair of cane dining chairs with plush seats, rattan backing, and metal legs — the mix of materials can bring together your curious collection of found furniture and make your place look eclectic (rather than chaotic). 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are easy to build, sturdy, and look great in my dining room! Highly recommend." —Lauren Wolf

Get two from Amazon for $114.99 (available in three colors and in sets of four).

21. A pack of wall plant clips (a whopping SIXTY of them, in fact) sure to delight pothos-lovers who have vines wrapped around every nook and cranny of their living room, just waiting for the day when they can spread out around the house. These gentle clips are paint-safe and sticky on the back, so you can display vines without using nails or aesthetic-killing clips. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have used them for both plants and light cables. The leaf design blends in nicely and looks decorative. They stick well on smooth walls, but a few lost grip over time — best for light vines. Still, they’re creative and serve different purposes." —Daniela Gomez

Get a pack of 60 from Amazon for $6.49.

22. A laundry soap station you can tuck into a shelf or leave out on the counter so your heavy, dripping detergent doesn't make a mess.

www.amazon.com

Skywin is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. 

Promising review: "I’ve been using this product now for several months. I’m honestly surprised by how something so simple can be so helpful and save me money. Just by tilting my laundry detergent jug on this, I’m able to get every last drop of detergent out of it, which prevents wasting detergent and saves me money. I’ve never had issues with clogging, and it holds a standard-size bottle or an oversized jug. It also helps to keep my laundry closet looking clean and organized. Good buy!" —Jenn Madonna

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sets of two and three and in nine colors). 

23. A shower lamp that, fair warning, somehow jumped into my own shopping cart of its own volition. This was designed by an aesthetic-saving ANGEL who clearly knows nothing ruins a soothing shower like overhead lighting. Is it in your cart yet? You'd better check.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This is IP44 waterproof certified, meaning it can withstand splashes of water. DO NOT put this in the water with you (for so many reasons), but it's totally okay if it gets a little water on it as long as it doesn't fall in. Whether on top of your shower or on a bathroom sink, it's gonna be bright enough to light up your life.

Hearone TikToker's thoughts on the shower lamp here.

Promising review: "I bought this for my bathroom because the one light is super bright and it's too much in the mornings. I still needed some light, so I looked into a lamp like this over some kind of night light or plug-in lamp. I bought this because the reviews were promising, and so far I'm really happy. I charged it when it arrived a week ago, and haven't needed to charge it again yet. I love the warm, but not yellow-y light it emits. The lamp also seems really sturdy, as if I knocked it off the counter, it would be fine. The dimming function is great, no flickering, and I'm really happy the lamp 'remembers' the brightness level it was last on. It says waterproof, and I haven't tested that, but the charging port plug seems to seal really well, so I'm not nervous to have it on the bathroom counter or right next to the shower. My one complaint is that the wood grain color appeared different on my computer than in real life, and it's a little more reddish in person. However, I like this lamp so much I've been moving it to my desk to use in the evenings, so I may just buy another one that matches my bathroom better and leave the wood colored one at my desk." —Syd Smith

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

24. A Capri Blue Volcano Candle, because having your home smell like the inside of an Anthropologie is surprisingly achievable thanks to this beloved candle. Capri Blue's Volcano candle has basically been universally adored for two decades, and it continues to top charts thanks to the vibrant tropical citrus top notes combined with warm sugared fruit. Dang it...I think I'm about to impulse buy this one for myself (again). Worth it. No regrets.

Amazon

Promising review: "I am a candle snob, and I can say without a second thought that Capri Blue is my favorite candle of all time. I have one in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom. I gift them often for housewarming (pun intended) gifts or just because. They're the perfect addition to a home, and they SMELL SO GOOD, Y'ALL. Absolutely recommend these candles to everyone." —Jennifer

Get a 19-ounce version from Amazon for $35 (available in four sizes) — see all of Capri Blue's candles here.

25. Aslim, two-slice toaster that'll be a satisfying space saver in your Polly Pocket-sized kitchen. The long-slot design keeps it slim while still allowing two slices of bread to cook at a time. The design also makes this great for larger slices of homemade bread and sourdough loaves, all while being juuust the right size to squish between appliances and cabinets.

Promising review: "The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estateon my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins, or bagels as well as a regular-width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color, which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don’t burn food, and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" —Joyce Hill

Get it from Amazon for$24.98 (available in five styles). 

26. A cheerful fruit bowl with a spiffy secret — it's also a colander — for keeping your produce on display. Fresh produce on the counter looks so lovely *and* reminds you to eat your rutabagas before they go bad.

Amazon

Promising review: "I LOVE the look of this fruit bowl. I also love that its pedestal minimizes the space it takes up on the counter. I wasn't sure about whether I would like that it is plastic, but now I consider it a big plus. It keeps the bowl lightweight (but it is still sturdy) and makes it easy to clean. I highly recommend this fruit bowl. I couldn't be more pleased with mine." —Opinion o'Jen

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

27. A *life*-changing 12-piece Caraway cookware set— they're nonstick cookware with minimalist silhouettes that'll complement your increasingly cozy kitchen, a true aesthetic dream. These work with induction, gas, and electric stove tops; they're all oven-safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, are made with a nontoxic coating, and feature non-stick ceramic with an aluminum core and stainless steel handles. Whew! Sorry for all that; I really got Caraway'd away! 

www.amazon.com, Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

The set has a 10.5-inch fry pan, a 3-quart sauce pan and lid, a 4.5-quart sauté pan and a lid, a 6.5-quart Dutch oven and a lid, and storage for the pans and lids. 

The video above is me doing my darndest to find something this cookware can't do by *caramelizing heavy cream* aaand guess what? It was flawless! These refuse to let anything stick to them or gunk them up. I use them heavily, every single day, and they continue to outdo themselves. Also, the storage system deserves its own highlight. I have nearly no counter space, and these pans aren't small, but the clever cubby/hanging canvas pot holder makes it possible to tuck this entire set into a teeny tiny corner beside my stove. I'm not a good enough person to deserve this kitchen set. I really, really recommend it.

Promising review: "I absolutely love my Caraway cookware! They are so easy to clean, and the magnetic organizers are great for easy storage in kitchen cabinets. I love the hanging lid holder as it saves space and is super convenient (and renter-friendly with the adhesive hooks). The only thing I would mention is that they are not super lightweight. Otherwise, they are superb quality, nontoxic, nonstick, and beautiful!" —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $445+ (available in eight colors and multiple set sizes).

28. A wireless library light you can use to highlight favorite books or pieces of art in your home. It has both warm and cool light settings, so it can easily match your aesthetic.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This uses three AAA batteries and includes a remote that lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.

Promising review: "For the price, you can’t beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray-painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over, and then they were absolutely perfect." —Paris Seder

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three colors and five styles).

29. A Hatch Restore 3 — a sunrise alarm and sound machine for folks who really, *really* need help both waking up in the morning and falling asleep at night. It's good-lookin' enough to be decor in your room, while also working overtime as a touch-controlled smart light.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

You can even personalize your "bedtime routine" each night to train your brain to recognize sleep cues and get a better night's rest. Options include changing the light settings to more amber tones to help produce melatonin for sleep, soothing noise options, and sleep meditations and sleep stories available in the Hatch app.

Promising review: "I’ve been using the Hatch 3 for a few weeks now, and I must say, it has completely transformed my mornings. The customizable sounds and soothing noise options create such a calming, peaceful atmosphere that makes waking up feel like a pleasant experience rather than a jarring event. I’ve found myself waking up feeling more relaxed, with the gradual transition from soft sounds to more lively tones gently guiding me out of sleep. The app is another great bonus. It allows for full customization of the wake-up and wind-down routines, so I can set the tone of my day from the moment I wake up to when I’m getting ready for bed. The soft, warm light feature is also fantastic. It mimics the sunrise, gradually brightening the room and helping to regulate my circadian rhythm. Overall, the Hatch 3 is not just a smart alarm clock; it’s an experience." —Nate

Get it from Amazon for $169.99 (available in three styles). 

30. A *folding* corduroy sofa bed with plush tufted details and an expert dose of laid-back luxury that says, "I belong in a New York City loft." If you, too, deserve that luxe loft life but don't have the bank account to shell thousands on high-end furniture, this sofa is the secretly inexpensive piece you'll be thrilled to have discovered. You'll soon find yourself basking in that satisfying city style from the comfort of suburbia while cozying up in your expertly designed space.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers recommend placing this up against a wall when using it as a chair for the added support.

Promising review: "I love this chair/sleeper. It is very cute and makes my living room feel so comfy. I purchased the ivory chair, and I absolutely love the texture. The firmness of the bed when it's laid out is exactly what I was looking for. Sitting on it as a chair is a little harder since there really isn't any back support or strong stability, but I purchased it more for the bed for guests. I love it. It is a little low, but I think it makes it more comfy and doesn't block my window. It is the perfect addition to my studio apartment. It's so cute and comfy." —Rachell

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

31. A guided breathing lamp here to take control when your brain is so busy you can't remember to, well, breathe. This little cloud uses color prompts to simulate a 4/7/8 breathing technique. Keep this on your desk at work and let this gentle reminder take care of you throughout the day. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is great for teaching different types of breathing to help calm down. The distraction of following the directions can take your mind off your anxiety pretty quickly. There are several types of breathing techniques to choose from. Kids love it because it lights up and changes color." —L. Demro

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four styles).

Promising review: "I love the fabric so much I’m buying the whole kit again to add more to our canopy. It’s a soft white with a little shimmer, and it drapes very nicely. Installation is so simple." —Melissa

Get it from Amazon for $32.48 (available in two sizes).

33. A rechargeable fogless, no-drill shower mirror for couples who are one "Get your beard hair out of the sink!" fight away from someone sleeping on the couch for good. Reviewers love using this in the shower as it prevents that very mess from ending up in the sink. Genius. It works by preheating for about three minutes to balance the mirror's temperature with the bathroom. The battery can last for 2–4 weeks on a single charge and features a Type-C port for fast charging. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This includes strong adhesive pads, and it's fully rotatable. There are three lighting modes, including cool white, natural, and warm.

Promising review: "The heating element works great, the fog goes away in around 30 seconds to 1 minute. The perfect shower mirror. It works on USB-C charging, and it has nice heft to it. The mirror is clear, and it's big enough to get my head and some of my chest.I used double-sided 3M tape to mount it to my shower." —Zayaan

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in black or white).

34. A trio of Scrub Daddy sponges with two unique design features: they stay firm in cold water and are soft in warm water.

Check out our full review of the Scrub Daddy sponge here.

Promising review: "How can you NOT love the Scrub Daddy? Been getting my friends hooked on this for years. Buy it, then send me a little thank you note because it changed your life. OK, maybe not changed but definitely nudged. Never smells, dishwasher safe, last forever, doesn't hurt dishes, gets all the junk." —Kristi Rosengreen

Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.99.

35. An adjustable lounge chair specifically designed for some extra comfortable gaming. Use it as an armchair during the day and simply fold it out at night. The upright back is designed to give your shoulders some primo support while looking down at a handheld game. Even if you're not into gaming, this multifunctional chair might very well be the bold statement piece your living room has been lacking.

Ikea

Promising review: "It is a welded metal frame, which is really nice because it’s solid and there's no assembly required. The cushions and fabric feel really nice. I like to lie on my back a lot and prop up my head, so I love the fold-out option. It’s easy to detach the backrest and angle it however you want. It’s also nice that the cushions aren’t far off the ground, so you can stretch out your legs while you lie down. Also comfortable as a chair, and the dark gray is super versatile with modern furniture. All the cushions have handles, so I think it is meant to be taken apart. Really cool design all around." —Pam

Get it from Ikea for $299.99 (also available in dark gray).

36. A renter-friendly over-the-toilet shelf mounted with tension rods — it's gonna give you plenty of room to store soaps and shampoos in a dry spot (get those mold-growers out of your shower!) and put your precious TP right above your porcelain throne.

Promising review: "Finally — such a simple product yet very versatile and can work in any bathroom! My challenge has been finding ways to add space to store toiletries and towels in a small rental bathroom with tile-covered walls and little space between the toilet and sink/tub. This was perfect: a tension-style, floor-to-ceiling rod! I purchased the wooden shelf style, which looks stylish and solidly built. This will be easy to take place to place if I move." —MichelleJC

Get them from Amazon for $89.99 (available in two colors and with three or four tiers).

37. A game-changing self-watering planter with nutrient-dense dehydrated soil at the ready for your impulse planting needs. The design includes a water level indicator to make sure your plants always have just the right amount of hydration, even if you're gone for weeks at a time. Plus, it looks unreasonably chic. Plant parents aren't messing around these days. 

Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed, Tendril

This includes three soil power packs, and air-pruning soil bag, a water-wicking filter, and two ceramic vessels (one with a nonslip rubber ring). 

I have a Tendril planter, and I *love* it. My husband is a big plant person. I am very good at appreciating them... and terrible at caring for them. If it weren't for this planter, our Calathea would not survive his weekend work trips. The most satisfying thing about this planter is that the design is both aesthetic and functional — the top sinks into the bottom as the water absorbs, both allowing the plants to drink when they need *and* letting you (ahem, me) know when it needs to be refilled. There's even a water level indicator with a poem from your plant's POV. Cute.

Get a small size from Tendril for $129 (also available in two other sizes, both on waitlists).

38. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets designed to clean and deodorize your machine while it runs naturally, makin' it sparkle and shine without you spending time scrubbing! Say goodbye to limescale, grease, and stubborn buildup! Okay, "Goodbye limescale, grease, and stubborn buildup!"

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have the nose of a truffle pig and can smell the slightest tinge of something in the air, so when my dishwasher starts to smell, I am the first and usually the only one in the family to notice it right away. I have tried all the usual brands to get the hard water stains and gross food smells out. Even rinse my dishes super well. None of them work like this stuff does! I was wary at first about buying it because it was so cheap. A year's worth of cleaning tabs!! Forget Finish, Cascade, and the other stuff. This stuff really works! Keeps dishwasher free from hard water marks, and my dishes come out crystal clear after." —Courtney E. Delong

Get a box of 24 from Amazon for $16.96.

39. A Bella drip coffee makerwith a darling design (and several gorgeous matte color options), perfect for anyone who has ~bean~ looking to embrace homemade coffee — this pint-sized powerhouse can help make a great brew, even for first timers. The LCD clock display is simple and clear, letting folks schedule their coffee up to 24 hours in advance.

Amazon

There are only four buttons to keep track of: hour, minute, program, brew, and on/off (and it'll automatically turn off after two hours). My favorite bit? This includes a reusable filter basket and scoop, so there's no paper waste. 

Promising review: "This machine is perfect! Doesn’t take up a lot of room, and the oat color is so pretty in person. Was so easy to set up, program, and use. And made the perfect cups of coffee! Definitely recommend!" —Bree Lynn

Get it from Amazon for $40.98 (available in five colors).

40. Or Technivorm's Moccamaster — handmade in the Netherlands, this 10-cup takes 4–6 minutes to *quietly* brew a whopping 40-ounce of coffee. The simple switch system lets you choose between a half and a full carafe, and the machine includes a hot plate and automatically switches off after 100 minutes. They say this is quiet, but the yellow pepper color is screaming my name.

Amazon

This also comes with a five-year warranty. If you want a long-lasting option that also LOOKS lovely, you can't top this. There are so many colors to choose from, you're sure to find the one that makes you smile the most when you greet it in the morning. 

Promising review: "I thought I made a decent cup of pour-over coffee. I thought so until I had my first cup from this machine! It’s incredibly smooth and delicious. I don’t have time for manual pour-over in the morning, but I didn’t want cheap drip coffee. This maker fits the bill! So quick and easy to use. The price was my holdout for a while, but I’m so glad I bit the bullet and bought it. I’m the only coffee drinker in my house, and I make just one cup per day. Very happy with it!" —Lindsey Stout

Get it from Amazon for $369 (available in 23 colors).

41. An exhaust fan that's gonna hold onto *way* less dust than the gross grated fan you've got looming over your toilet today. Replace the grate with this (you can still use the same fan system inside!) and treat yourself to a small upgrade that's gonna make a big difference.

www.amazon.com

By the way, installation takes about five minutes and requires no cutting or patching. Plus, this has a universal fit, so no worries about measuring to make sure it works for your space — it does!

42. A KitchenAid mini stand mixernecessary for anyone who knows they need some major machinery to help them eat their delicious, delicious feelings. This 3.5-quart mini mixer includes a wire whisk, flat beater, and dough hook. It is dishwasher safe and sports a powerful 10-speed slide control. Oh, and it can make five dozen cookies at once!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is the best! I have a very heavy 7-quart mixer that I can no longer lift. I also did not have room to leave it on my kitchen counter. This one is smaller, lighter weight, and does not take up much counter space. The mixer runs very quietly but still gives me enough power to mix up my usual muffins, cakes, and bread recipes. The attachments are smaller to accommodate the smaller bowl. Overall, I am very happy with the size and performance of this mixer!" —Lynn4591

Get it from Amazon for $449.95 (available in seven colors).

43. A pied-à-terre pick sure to make your home look like it was plucked right off the set of Sex and the City. This sofa is totally a Carrie. 

Anthropologie

Promising review: "This sofa is beautiful! It's in my office near the entryway and it is a showstopper. The background is not solid and has dark brush strokes, as in a painting. The smaller-sized sofa almost didn't fit through my typical-sized doorway. I ordered this in February and received it in May, but it was well worth the wait." —JazzyDaisy

Get it from Anthropologie for $2,398+(available in two colors and sizes).

45. A pair of linen café curtains reviewers use both over their windows as a way to create privacy (while still getting light!) *and* as a gorgeous upgrade to unsightly storage spaces. If you find yourself glaring down at the unorganized mess of half-empty shampoo bottles and skincare on your storage rack, set these curtains up and hide that all away *while* making your bathroom look chic as can be! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are lovely curtains. We needed just a bit of cover on this window (pictured above, right) and nothing too heavy or thick. These worked, and look really nice too. I plan to add some more plants so it all worked out great. The material gives just enough coverage." —Michelle

Get two panels from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in several sizes and colors).

46. An arched floor mirror, you're gonna realize, is a classic for a reason. The arch makes the reflection feel open, helping to visually increase the size of any room. This is also a particularly great option for wardrobe photographs...if you were wondering. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I love this mirror!! It is very sleek. I like that there’s a stand so you can have it on the floor but also brackets if you wanted to hang it on a wall. Lightweight but sturdy and easy to set up. Best value I saw for similar sized mirrors." —John Ryan

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in seven sizes and three colors).

Promising review: "This is very useful, especially if you are new to using an air fryer. It's straightforward, easy to read, with different categories, including desserts. Has a nice-sized magnet on the back for fridge use, and a hook if you want to hang it up. I'd say they thought of everything, including being sturdy and well-made. Good price, good quality." —Thelma Johnson

Get it from Amazon for $7.10.
