Read More Consider this a love letter to the peeps who believe every room deserves a lil’ sparkle, a lil’ color, and tons of *razzle-dazzle.* As a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, I can't believe that I get to search the internet to help you find the best, most unique, life-changing products for my job. Psst — you might want to size down because reviewers say they tend to run big. Promising review: "These leopard overalls are so beautiful and well-made that I'm going to buy a second pair. For me, they ran big because I usually wear a size 28 in Torrid jeans. I went to the store and tried on different sizes. I bought the leopard buckle sandals to go with them, and they are so cute together. Get it! You will love it so much!" —Sexihoni Get it from Torrid for $109.90 (available in women's sizes 12–26, in three inseams and three other colors). Promising review: "Sooo adorable, I bought this for my first apartment and it brings me joy. Hot Dawg! 🌭" —Anne Marée is a small business that specializes in beauty products. Promising review: "Gifted these masks to my sister-in-law, and she loved them. So I figured I’d try them too. What a difference in my skin. I like to leave all masks on a lot longer than most people or directions say. I let the mask gel absorb into my skin. So when I took it off, it was not wet anymore. I woke up the next day with a nice glow and dewy appearance. I will have to get more. I think it actually tightened my eyes and laugh lines, too. I love this product and will continue to buy it. Thank you, Marée!!" —Eugene Cecora Get a set of six from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a set of four and a two-pack). MiaBOWstyle is a small business that makes the cutest homemade plushies. Promising review: "These animal cracker pillows are everything! So adorable, always makes me smile." —Lauren Get it from MiaBOWstyle on Etsy for $29.92+ (originally $39.90; available in three animals and two colors). Febu is a small business that specializes in earth-friendly, non-toxic home products. Promising review: "I love these! I have used these for years instead of a sponge or a dishrag. They hold up great, mop up crumbs and spills quickly, can be popped in the dishwasher to clean, and bring a bit of color to the sink area in my otherwise neutral kitchen." —Wynnefred Get a set of five from Amazon for $14.95 (available in 15 gorgeous sets). 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 a holder, but you can snag an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them like 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. I haven't had to sharpen them yet and I've been using them pretty steadily for about a month. 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." —GWP Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $24.95. It can keep drinks cold for up to 12 hours! So, I was debating for forever on whether or not to get this one or the cruiser cup just because that one has a more secure lid. But I loved the motif on this one and how it went the whole length of the cup. So, I just decided to do this one, and I am not disappointed in the slightest. It. Is. GORGEOUS in person. Like, truly, pictures do not do it justice. It's probably one of the nicest tumblers I own, and the gold straw is just that **chef's kiss** perfect accent. Truly makes you want to sip with your pinky up. Promising review: "The colors and detail to the 24-ounce cold cup are so beautiful! I am so thrilled with the bold design, and I get so many compliments on it!" —Julie A.J. Get it from Rifle Paper Co. for $40 (available in four other styles). Check out a TikTok of the cloud knife in action. Promising review: "I love these — sturdy, sharp with retractable blade. I keep them in different rooms for opening packages or breaking down boxes to recycle. Would recommend and buy again." —Amy Yasneski Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.49. Promising review: "If you're a thick girl like me (thick legs and booty) who hesitates to wear shorts other than maybe spandex workout shorts, you need to take a chance on this shorts set. It's so cute! I was pleasantly surprised by how well it fits. For me, these shorts are the perfect length, not too short or too long. You can pull them up or down to show as much or as little of your midriff as you want. And they are comfortable — stretchy, but still a loose cut. But not too loose or sloppy looking. Also, the top fits nicely. The cover-up is shorter than it appears in the photos, just covering my butt. But I prefer that actually. :-) However, because I'm big-chested, I can't fully close it or cover myself up in the front. It looks good worn open, though, anyway. It's flowy and feminine. I might get another set in a different color." —Greek Goddess Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 15 prints). Promising review: "I love this light! The stars are beautiful, the colors are beautiful. I like that it shuts off in four hours. I use it in my house so I don’t have to turn the lights on all the time. I like it so much, I just ordered three more to give to my grandchildren. It also has sounds like the sound of rain, or ocean waves. And you can even play your regular music on it. Don’t be afraid to try it! It’s like having the northern lights anytime you want." —Amy J Nelson Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in four colors). The set includes a wireless keyboard and mouse with a USB receiver for a 2.4GHz connection. Pick up some AA batteries; both will need them! You can check out how the clicking sounds in this TikTok. Promising review: "Absolutely amazing keyboard. Colors are eye-catching and make a drab office pop with color! I am currently the envy of the office. Ladies in the other departments are waiting for their own to come in now after seeing mine. Easy plug/play. It travels between home and office with me. Love the keys on this as well. Sleep mode seems to pop on kinda quick, but it's nothing bad. Just push a button or click the mouse, and it's on again. I have had mine for about a month now and will not be going back to any other style!" —Nikki Bell Get it from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in 11 styles). Ban.do is a US-based small business that specializes in quirky accessories, home products, and stationery. Promising review: "Such a cute cowgirl boot. I put my makeup brushes in it on my vanity and it’s so cute. All of my friends want one now! Definitely recommend." —Jerrett Promising review: "If you’re looking for a cute Band-Aid that has flexible fabric, these are it! I only use flexible fabric band-aids because they’re way more comfortable and stay on better. Bonus that these are a cute design!" —Jessica Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $3.79. Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes girl giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be of good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh." —Christin "This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through multiple flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!" —Francia Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sets). Promising reviews: "I would buy this thing in all 10 different colors. Love it. I wear this thing literally every day. It is my new favorite piece of clothing. I would wear it out of the house if that wouldn’t be weird. Love it. So comfy. Lightweight and silky. Has an inner tie and an outer tie, so it doesn’t come undone. Perfect!" —Jules "I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and color, etc., etc., etc. Very nice purchase. Looks more expensive in person. This was a gift for a very picky person. She loved it. If she didn’t, she would have said so." —Sandrael Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes: one size, which has a 51-inch chest, and one size plus, which has a 66-inch chest). Orrrr you can also get a reviewer-loved longer satin robe trimmed with ostrich feathers (which are also *removable* for easy washing). Get it from Amazon for $39.99. Promising review: "I was going to buy the $80 one from UO, and decided to look for cheaper alternatives. I'm really happy with this lamp! The little remote with light settings and timer features is a nice addition. If you're thinking about buying this, I'd recommend you do!" —Jules F Glam Globes is a UK-based small biz that sells adorable disco ball home decor pieces! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has one herself and loves it! Here's what she has to say about it: "It's from a small biz based in the UK, and while it did take a while to arrive (as I expected), it was *well* worth the wait. The light bouncing off the mirror fragments and onto my walls is just dang beautiful. Between the bottom tray and the space inside the globe (yes, the globe OPENS UP!), there's a nice amount of storage for bottles and glassware. And unlike regular bar carts, the things you keep inside the globe will actually stay dust-free. I bought the 'champagne' color (which is a nice neutral cream-beige), but it comes in tons of colors that'll go perfectly with your home decor." Get it from Glam Globes on Etsy for $347.05 (available in nine colors on the brand's website and in seven colors on Etsy). The Celestial Homebody is an Indiana-based Etsy shop established in 2016 that specializes in handmade crafts. NOTE: The bowls on each of these are thrifted, so the edges and sizes will vary slightly! Promising review: "To say I love these is an understatement… I am OBSESSED!!! They look good enough to eat! I can’t wait to hang them on the walls. I’m just trying to decide exactly where!" —Apple user Get it from The Celestial Homebody on Etsy for $35.99+ (available premade, or with customizable cereal and colors). Promising review: "I get so many compliments on this light, it is so happy and friendly! Really glad the light is adjustable in brightness, the brightest setting is usually too much." —Sarah Fisher Get it from Amazon for $29.91 (also available in five other styles). Promising review: "Got this mat for a mushroom-themed bathroom, and it is the cherry on top of the rest of the decor. Absolutely adorable, and so soft!" —harley goebel Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight sizes). Baroo Bloom is an Austria-based Etsy shop that specializes in wall art and stationery. Promising review: "Love this print! Prints exactly like the photo!" —Jay Verri Get it from Baroo Bloom on Etsy for $4.76. Promising review: "I have paid 10 times this amount for Razer and Logitech mice. For a basic mouse, they are no better than this one. Good weight, nice size, very attractive, beautiful lighting. It has an on/off switch and an auto-off after non-use to preserve energy. USB-C power cord included, but too short for anything but charging. But that is easily solved by a longer cord, so you can still use it while charging. Great value, especially on sale, or with a discount." —M. Fusco Get it from Amazon for $26.89+ (available in four colors). Promising reviews: "Works great as a mousepad and adds some flair to your workspace without being over the top!" —Madeline "This little mousepad has been a conversation starter and brought many smiles. It really does appear 3D and will be a fun addition to your desk." —Tina Neal Promising review: "Best kitchen/hand towels I have found on Amazon yet. I get so many compliments on these!! Just bought some for my sister and mom, they love them so much. Soft and absorbent, just the right thickness, has some wear and tear after just a couple of months, but we use them daily and have washed and dried them a lot. Definitely worth the price." —Caitlin Get a set of four from Amazon for $22.99 (available in five colors). This gem also comes with a USB converter for older devices! Promising review: "I love this. It's very durable and looks cool, plus it charges great and semi-quickly." —jenny Promising reviews: "I'm normally not one to buy skin-tight things, especially after having two kids, but this made me feel good and sexy! The material of it is very soft and breathable. I paired it with a T-shirt over it as well and loved that look. I will definitely be buying it in more colors!" —Haylee Bell "I feel stunning. I'm so positively surprised by this dress. I’m definitely buying the other patterns as well. It fits perfectly, I feel sexy, it’s nice and thick and soft. I love it!" —Manuela Canotilho Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in women's sizes S–L and 11 designs). Promising review: "Just received it and the Confetti Check is my favorite pattern. Bright and cheery! And the Blue knob on top is stunning. I may have to buy another to actually USE because I’d like this for a vase in my kitchen, it’s that pretty!" —Mary V. Get it from Macy's or MacKenzie-Childs for $179.95. And check out their Amazon storefront for more options. Promising review: "These have to be the coolest things I have ever purchased. I have them in an empty wine bottle. I will be buying many more to cover the entire bottle in wax." —Bre Just FYI — these are not meant for live plants as there are no drainage holes. All Things 3D Shop is a small biz based in Houston, TX that creates unique 3D printed items. Promising reviews: "Just as described, I love the color. It’s perfect for a small plant. I would recommend it." —Daniela "The perfect wall planter to create a bit of character! They are 3D printed, so a plastic, but sturdy enough to hold plants. I attached mine with heavy-duty 3M Command Strips. Customer service was great I got updates of restocks and when my item shipped." —Crystal Get it from All Things 3D Shop on Etsy for $29.95 (available in six color combos). Promising review: "Spacious. I love this little pouch, it’s so cute and even bigger than I thought it’d be." —Sarah R. Get it from Amazon for $19.49+ (available in 10 colors). Mad Magic is a small business based in Charlotte, North Carolina, that makes handcrafted home decor. Promising review: "It adds such a fun and youthful pop of color to my son’s 'big boy western room'! I am very pleased with the quality and design! I have received several compliments on it!" —Claire Morris FYI, inserts are not included with these covers! But you can grab these top-rated pillow inserts on Amazon. Promising review: "I love these...I’m honestly so happily surprised by how good these are. I’ve kept them on the pillows for months now. The fabric quality and overall construction are good! Zippers are great and are protected from lots of wear. The fabric is quite soft, and the color is exactly as pictured! They fit my party theme but also work in my everyday decor! I love them." —Laurel Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in eight colors and three sizes). Promising review: "It's stunning, breathtaking, and beautiful. It was love at first sight when I saw it. It's worth every penny! It makes you feel like a goddess! I got all the compliments! I'm definitely buying this dress in different prints. 🥰" —Kia Howard "So sexy and feminine. I had the slit added on the side. Yes, the material shows every bump and curve, but you can wear a body shaper underneath, as I did in my video. I normally wear a small, and the small fits well, but I also got the second one in an extra small, and that worked too. Don’t sleep on this dress. It’s a great value for the money, and you’ll get a lot of attention." —LuciaD Get it from Amazon for $53.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 11 colors). La Vie Sainte is a woman-owned small business based in Atlanta that makes home decor out of oyster shells. Promising review: "Love it so much it came exactly as in the picture, even with the mini utensils!!!" —julie amendola "These are beautiful! Cannot wait to bring them out for dinner parties." —carolinab10 Get it from La Vie Sainte on Etsy for $34.99. It *also* comes with an acrylic desk stand if you don't want to bother hanging it up at all! And there's an insert pot for drainage if you're using live plants. 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 $23.37+ (available in three colors and three sizes). Get it from Piecework Puzzles for $40 (and check out their other puzzle options here). Promising review: "These wrap-it tags are perfect. It beats using tape to identify the cords, especially under my computer desk! After a while, the 'writing' on the tapes starts fading, and it's frustrating having to figure out which is the printer, telephone cable, computer, modem cords, etc. Not sticky, the tags have a velcro inner lining, so it's easy to put on and remove." —K. Lum Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six styles and three assorted color packs). Promising review: "I’ve never loved something from Amazon as much as I love this light fixture. We call it our disco hallway! It gives off great light, and as you can see in the photo (pictured above, right), it’s like a rainbow prism on the walls and ceiling, but beneath it is regular lighting, so it can be used in all types of rooms. Seriously, get it! If the pendant style would have worked in my dining room I would have gotten it for there as well. I’m obsessed." —Jesi Get it from Amazon for $115.50+ (available in four styles and two sizes). Promising review: "I love these bulbs. They make any room all warm and cozy. Also a fantastic night-light for the little ones. :) Get you some!" —Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six other styles and in a two-pack).
