We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A *home*y tissue box cover so you can cry in style instead of pulling out tissues from a cardboard box. It could even put a smile on your face from its cuteness!
Here's why BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this:
"I, an adult woman, cannot remember the last time I bought a box of tissues for my home. (Though I have several purse packs?!) It may have been when I most recently had a sinus infection, which I guess was 2+ years ago. But now that I’m playing house as a grown-ass person in an apartment to myself, I’m trying to be *responsible*. So obviously buying this whimsical tissue box cover we’ve featured in a million BuzzFeed Shopping posts is peak adulting.
Perhaps the reason I’ve been so bad at keeping around a box of tissues is because tissues just look...kind of ugly out in the open. But not with this lil’ cover! Now it’s a ~design element~ that I’ll hopefully remember to keep full. For now, it’s filled with a square box of tissues I unearthed from my old apartment’s closet while packing; it's presently neatly housed inside the tissue box cover, providing the 'smoke' for the tiny chimney. The only downside to committing to this box is that I'll have to buy square-shaped tissue boxes only now. But I can live with that. And with my not-snotty nose."

2. A pair of amber glass bottles to give your bathroom that rustic look instead of having to look at the half-empty bottle of Softsoap.
To recreate the look above, be sure to grab some waterproof labels!
Promising review: "Exactly as pictured and truly pretty. The pumps are well-made, and fit and work perfectly. The glass is not thin — not bulky-thick either. I am very impressed with the quality and pricing. I love these and will absolutely buy them again." —Admin Math & Science
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99.
3. A pom-pom throw that is is EXTREMELY soft and fluffy, perfect for cozying up on the couch — that is, if you can steal it from your dog who's going to fall in love with it.
Promising review: "So this was a total impulse buy, but I’m sooo glad I bought it! Literally no dislikes. I bought the mustard yellow in the 60x80 and it’s the greatest thing everrrr. So pretty and comfortable. I’m obsessed. 🥰 I will definitely be purchasing as a gift for family and friends in the future." —Kasandra Emerson
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in 16 colors and four sizes).

5. A prismatic window film to turn your home into a joyous place filled with rainbows when the sun shines through. It also acts as a privacy shield from the outside world and nosy neighbors.
Promising review: "I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. And the bed. And the cat." —J. B.
Get it form Amazon for $7.98+ (available in seven sizes under $25).
6. Or a pair of LED stained glass bulbs that'll keep the rainbow vibes going when the sun goes down. Plus, it makes for great ~mood~ lighting!

7. A record/magazine/Cool Stuff holder so you can finally organize your books and such neatly instead of keeping in a stack. You'll be able to show off your one-of-a-kind vinyls and the vintage magazine you've had since middle school.
Promising review: "I didn’t want anything too bulky on my nightstand but I like to have several books I like to read in bed. I previously had them stacked on top of each other and found this and was afraid it might be cheaply made but it is sturdy and beautiful! I’m such a bookworm and I am in love with this added piece to my room." —Stephy Lynn
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three colors).
8. A dimmable night light that's just so ducking adorable! You can just tap the duck wherever to adjust the brightness and it has an optional 30-minute timer so you don't need to worry about turning it off!
This light doesn't require any batteries — it's rechargeable! It comes with a USB charger.
Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a duck lamp...but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in four other designs including a cabbage?? I don't know, you do you).
9. A plush flower pillow to sit on, lay on, or just hug if you need that emotional support. These fully-bloomed flowers will light up the room even on the darkest of days.

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 17 colors and two sizes).
10. An invisible shelf that looks so realistic, every time you look over to your wall, you'll think Harry Potter has cast a spell. Even though we do wish those powers were a reality, this shelf just creates an optical illusion when you put a book cover under it.
Promising review: "I have several of these invisible shelves in my home. They are unique and interesting, and always attract attention. The shelves are easy to install. They come with the necessary hardware and instructions and go up quickly. I have them in spots that are too empty looking. You can place 1–10 books on them though you want at least a few to hide the shelf itself, and you'll need something bigger than a paperback for the bottommost book. These are very good quality, fun, and unique. Highly recommended." —Audrey Frances
Get it from Amazon for $14.94+ (available in two sizes and packs of three).
11. A cactus spoon set to add some ~spice~ to your kitchen (and hopefully your food).
Set includes: 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, and 1 tbsp spoons and a base that measures one cup.
Promising review: "These are aesthetically pleasing to look at and display, but the spoons seem so big. But the times I’ve used it, and measured these with other spoons, they are same size so I guess they just look big. Great quality though!! Wow!!" —klaudia
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in three styles).
12. A Lego key holder that'll have people thinking you crafted it yourself (but that can be our little secret). It comes with eight 2x2 keychains that you can stick on there right when you get back from work.

Get it from Amazon for $11.49+ (available in six colors and also in sets of two).
14. A rope basket to keep your place nice and tidy — even if you decide to just toss anything and everything in there. Not only will it impress you, but it'll definitely amaze your mom knowing that you finally have your life together.
Promising review: "I love this basket. We use it to store the living room throw blankets and pillows rather than having them pile up on the couch. It fits a lot, and the quality is good, not cheap looking/feeling. I can tell it's the type of product that will last a long time. I would definitely consider buying from this brand again. The very minor downside is that it comes with a big crease from the way it's packaged, but I'm sure it'll go away after some time — no biggie." —DHz
Get it from Amazon for $21.59+ (available in four colors and three sizes).
15. A vinyl coaster set that is unique and fun that whoever comes over will actually want to use one instead of you having to keep reminding them. When these aren't in use, they stack neatly onto to record player holder.
16. A folding storage ottoman so you can put all the random junk lying around in there instead of a clear storage box. It's so cute, no one will even think about what you shoved in there.
Promising review: "This ottoman is very useful. It doesn’t have a tray, but if you turn the lid, it can be used as a tray. It’s not very big, but I can rest and put my feet there. We can even sit to take pictures, and I store the blankets of the children in there. It's good for the price. I even ordered a second one." —marisa caballero
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors).
17. A set of taper candles to take you back in time with dried floral embeds and gorgeous colors. They'll add the perfect ambience to any dinner or even movie nights.

Get a set of four from Urban Outfitters for $14 (originally $18; available in four styles).
18. A cloud mirror that looks like those funhouse mirrors but make it ✨elevated✨. You'll be staring at your reflection for hours — not because you're a narcissist, but because you can't get over how unique this wonky shape is.

Get it from Sol Pixie Dust on Etsy for $24+ (available in eight hand colors and 42 circle colors).
20. Or a melting clock so you can turn your room into a Salvador Dali painting. Who would want to check the time on a normal clock when they have THIS? I know I wouldn't.
The clock requires one AA battery.
Promising review: "An absolute great find for such a reasonable price. Clock functions just as any clock would, but the piece itself is such a show-stopper. I gifted it to my dad for his birthday and he hung it on an office shelf. Everyone who stops through the office notices it and thinks its so cool, especially if they're familiar with Salvador Dali! Couldn't ask for a more unique, easy buy." —Connor
Get it from Amazon for $13.90.
21. A set of floating shelves to save your desk from clutter and to show off your most prized trinkets. These sleek shelves will surely spruce up your place no matter what you put on them.
Promising review: "I've been looking everywhere for shelves like these but have had no luck. Anything I found was either too big or over $100. These are fantastic. They go perfectly in my bathroom and allow me extra shelving for things I can't fit on the counter top. I'm buying another set or two for my living room. They're super easy to hang, especially if you have a drill." —Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $14.54+ (available in nine colors).
22. A boho-chic runner for a little bit of *spice* on your bare floors. These don't shed so you don't have to worry about this wearing out. You really can't find a rug like this anywhere these days!
Promising review: "This rug came rolled up in thick plastic, and the quality and colors are just perfect. For the price, this rug is great. It blends well with my decor, and I like the fact that it is soft but seems durable. It's easy to vacuum to clean. If you are looking for a nice-looking not expensive rug, this is what you need." —Martha
Get it from Amazon for $17.52+ (available in two styles and two sizes under $25).
23. And a fluffy area rug because the worst thing about getting out of bed in the morning is the cold, hard floor. Treat your feet to this super soft and shaggy rug.

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

24. And a peppy smiley face bathroom rug to keep your spirits up while you're battling your stomach demons on the toilet.

Get it from Amazon for $18.85+ (available in two sizes).
25. A sunset projection lamp that'll give the most awe-provoking sunset even if it's storming outside — you'll be feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside.

27. A centerpiece bowl to transform your home into a 5-star hotel lobby. It's made with stainless steel and looks much more expensive than it actually is!
28. A rectangle tray because everything is better served on a tray. Sure, it's a decoration in and of itself, but you can also add even more decorations to it like flowers or candles.
Promising review: "I love this tray. It looks very expensive and seems to be made from durable material. I took a gamble by ordering the gold color because some can be too bright, but I'm so glad I did. This tray is beautiful and provides a nice accent color in my bonus room." —TDT74
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 25 colors).
29. Some string lights that'll give a fairy glow to the room. Oh, and the best part? They come with mini clothespins so you can hang up pictures of you loved ones so they feel special when they come over.

Mason Kreations is a California-based small biz that'll literally light up your life with their fairy string lights.
Promising review: "This is my first review on Amazon! I just had to give recognition and praise where deserved. They arrived in great condition and they look amazing. The lights are bright and the wire allows for easy movement. The choices for light settings are great! The picture clips are cute and small so they don't take away from the lights, but they get the job done! I will certainly be ordering some more in the near future!" —Yvette
Get it from Mason Kreations on Amazon Handmade for $14.99.
30. A set of popular fairy lights to add some *magic* to the room. There are eight settings including twinkle, slow fade, and steady. Spend a cozy night in with this perfect mood lighting!
Promising review: "Love the ease of these lights! I bought two sets for two different bedrooms for my daughters and they ABSOLUTELY love them! They are easy to hang up over the curtains. I love that I don’t have to worry about trying to string together several strands of Christmas lights that are way too long and super heavy over the curtain rod. The LED lights are very lightweight so they don’t put any extra weight on my curtain rods. Also, we love the different light modes that it can do. My girls love the warm glow that it gives to their bedrooms. The first thing my almost teenage daughter said was, 'My room looks like a Pinterest room!' So overall, it was a WIN-WIN! Definitely worth the money!" —stayathomemom

Promising review: "I got this light because I didn't want the overheads on when I was reading books to my child. It provides enough light to read by. Additionally, I got it for power outage situations, so that we can still read books, and the light source is more pleasing than that of a flashlight or lantern. Very happy with it." —Miss Ms K

39. A set of corduroy pillow covers to add some color to your couches with the beautiful hues they offer — and they're oh-so-soft!
Promising review: "These pillow covers exceeded my expectations. I needed to cover up some older and worn decorative pillows, so I chose solid corduroy to accent my home colors. The cool thing about these covers is that, along with fitting well, the fabric is super soft! Most decorative pillow covers tend to be scratchy; we ACTUALLY use our pillows for naps, so this is great! The coverings easily slipped over my pillows, and the zipper closing worked with ease. The color was just as shown (blue). I will definitely order these again." —zbergteacher
