2. A set of two storage baskets with faux leather handles for storing little extras in style. House shoes, dog toys, house accessories, you name it.
Amazon
Promising review: “These are very easy to set up. The metal pops into place and there are little white Velcro straps that keep the metal support in place. They look really clean and the canvas seems to be good quality. The leather handles are fake and kind of a soft texture, but I prefer that they’re matte and soft and not shiny and fake looking. Definitely worth the price! Couldn’t find anything else in comparison for this price.” —Anthony
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three sizes and 10 colors).

4. A peel-and-stick herringbone wallpaper to upgrade your kitchen’s backsplash, create an accent wall, or decorate some shelving in a snap compared with regular wallpaper.
5. A bamboo slatted bath mat that’ll create a spa-like feel in your bathroom just by placing it down. Wood has such a warming effect in any room, and this is the perfect way to incorporate it into your shower routine.
Promising review: “The material is great. It’s soft but flexible, so it feels comfortable to step on but also sturdy beneath your feet. I got a bigger size, and it actually pulls the room together, making my tiny bathroom look rather chic. Honestly, I think it’s great and better for the environment because I don’t have to launder it every week.” —JamieJo
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five sizes and three styles).
6. A wingback chair available in lots of different fabrics, colors, and textures because the greatest gift you can give yourself is a spot you can curl up in at the end of a long day.
Promising review: “It’s a beautiful color (brown) and love the bigger seat! So pleased with the functionality but also the look of it and the price was great!
It’s also great for my height (5’4″) as my feet actually touch the ground but it also good for my husband who is 5’10″. It was easy to assemble and took me about 30 min (not 15 as mentioned in the description), ONLY because I read the directions wrong and didn’t put the legs on correctly! There’s two legs that match with a bigger white cap at the bottom that are for the back of the chair (the white caps adjust); and two legs with the smaller white caps are for the front of the chair! I put one of each so it was lopsided lol.
Also its great that you don’t need ANY additional tools as it comes with everything! Overall, I’m happy to have it as an accent chair in my family room!!!” —KatieCO
Get it from Amazon for $169.99+ (available in 17 colors).

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.

Promising review: “Based on its reviews, I thought this would look good, but I had no idea it would be so much fun to arrange! It comes with helpful instructions (included with the packing slip taped to the outside of the box). The leaves come in several sizes, and are easy to move around to shape the entire plant just the way you want. I placed it in a tall planter with some live plants and I’m VERY happy with the natural appearance!” —V

21. A string of curtain-style twinkle lights to help turn your room into a relaxing getaway worthy of a million Instagram posts.
Promising review: “I purchased one order of these lights to hang in my living room window for some gentle, ambient light. I had the sheer curtains already looking out onto our backyard. There are several different settings for the lights (still, blinking, fade…etc). These are just the right length for a window about two doorways wide. I was worried that the lights might heat up, causing a fire hazard being next to the sheer curtains, but the lights themselves do not get hot, or even warm. There are 10 strings hanging off of the main string that are quite long. The plug-in cord is long enough that it can reach the floor from up near the ceiling, and then some. I will most likely be buying another set in the near future.” —Vanessa Millett
Get it from Amazon for $17.74+ (available in three sizes/styles and in nine colors).
22. A lotus pendant lampshade for anyone who knows it’s time to upgrade the shades that were in their house when they moved in for ones with a lot more personality.

Two-week update: These have held up nicely, even with my kids and their sticky, cheesy snack fingers. Messes wipe off easily with a baby wipe or something gentle. Super happy with this purchase.” —Rosie Aponte
