Amazon
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

Promising review: “This welcome mat is hysterical. We’ve been having a lot of fun with it, and our delivery people love it too! High quality- thick brushwork, heavy-duty backing, and the color doesn’t seem to fade with use- which was our number one concern.

Promising review: “Too cute to pass up! Adorable!! The size makes it great for cream for coffee or tea or simply water at your bedside. Not to be confused with the larger version — this is great for a party of one. The cow’s head is small and nests perfectly into the body. Painted decor is spot on (no pun in intended) and the glass is good quality glass.” —Eleni

Brightech is a California-based small business that specializes in home lighting.
Promising review: “The light is nice! It’s a unique-looking light. I love how it has three different settings so you can adjust the brightness. It fits perfectly with my reading chaise and goes well with the rest of my living room decor. The only con I have is I wish the cord was clear instead of black, it sticks out.

12. An invisible shelf that looks so realistic, you’ll think Harry Potter has cast a spell to levitate your books every time you glance over at the wall. While we *do* wish those powers were a reality, this shelf just creates an optical illusion when you slide 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 $13.38+ (available in two sizes, two colors, and packs of three).

Promising review: “I’m completely obsessed with this disco planter! I really liked that it came with the option to use a drip line bottom feed system. The macrame hanger was a nice bonus too! Very cute planter that catches the light well. Looks like a million bucks in my collection.” —Angela
Get it from Amazon for $20.78+ (available in three colors and three sizes).
14. A Lego key holder that’ll have people thinking you crafted it yourself (but that can be our little secret). It comes with eight 2×2 keychains that you can stick on there right when you get back from work.

Promising review: “I wanted a toilet paper holder that didn’t take up much space, kept the extra rolls off the floor, and could be installed close to the toilet. This is perfect for what we need. It won’t fit in with any of your standard bathroom decor (if you have a theme) but functionality and space is more important to me than looks. Easy to install as well.” —Jamie
Get it from Amazon for $34.90+ (available in 10 styles).
17. Some prismatic window film that’ll fill your home with joyous rainbows when the sun shines through! (You know what they say: When life gives you sun, make rainbows! 🌈) Plus, it doubles 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 $6.99+ (available in 11 sizes and three colors).
18. A set of two bookends to give your shelf an elegant, contemporary touch. While they do have the great functionality of holding your books upright, these tiny little humans also make for a great piece of funky decor.

22. A home-y tissue box cover so you can cry in style instead of pulling out tissues from a cardboard box. It might even put a smile on your face with its cuteness!
Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed
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.”
Get it from Amazon for $5.76.
23. A dino nugget pillow because these were all the rage during your childhood, and honestly, they still are. Not only is it the perfect piece of quirky decor, but it’s so plush that you’ll be cuddling it all day long — no biting, though!
Promising review: “This dino chicken nugget pillow is a real Jurassic dream come true! It’s the perfect cuddle companion for all the paleontologists-in-training or anyone with an insatiable appetite for comfort. Just be careful not to accidentally take a bite while you’re napping, because it looks deliciously deceiving!” —LadyTee
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three styles, two sizes, and in multipacks).
24. A candle warmer that looks like it would house Tinker Bell. This floral beauty has a bulb that heats up to slowly melt the candle wax and release its aroma — now your candles will last longer *and* you don’t have to worry about putting out a flame.
Promising review: “I am absolutely delighted to share my heartfelt review of this enchanting lamp! Words cannot express how magical and gorgeous it is, with its perfect blend of glass, brass, and light wood. The packaging was beyond thoughtful and ensured the lamp arrived in pristine condition. I particularly appreciate the adjustable light feature, allowing me to set the perfect amount (dim, heat) . The inclusion of an extra bulb was a thoughtful touch as well. This lamp marks my first foray into candle warmers, and I must say, I have fallen in love!” —Marynelis Rodriguez
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven colors).
25. And a handmade incense burner designed to create a waterfall effect. C’mon, you can’t tell me this isn’t just about the coolest thing you have ever seen! It comes with 120 incense cones, so you’ll be stocked for a while!

Amazon
The set includes 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, and 1 tbsp spoons and a base that measures 1 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 $17.99 (available in two cactus styles and a strawberry version).
27. A melting clock so you can turn your room into a Salvador Dalí 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. The 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 it’s so cool, especially if they’re familiar with Salvador Dalí! Couldn’t ask for a more unique, easy buy.” —Connor
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
28. A bathroom-themed word search that’ll keep you busy if you forgot to bring your phone with you. There’s nothing worse than going number two with nothing to do on the loo.
Promising review: “Great addition to a guest or kids bathroom! I was surprised by the quality. I expected a small, thin plastic frame but was completely wrong and taken aback at how nice these pictures are. They’re not paper screen printed, but canvas with a nice thick frame. Would definitely recommend and purchase again!” —kris
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes and three frame colors).
