Sad beige is soooo last year, it’s time to cover your house in oversized sprinkle stickers and bowls filled with real, preserved cereal. 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 $30.33 (available in seven styles). Promising review: "These are so cute and easy to assemble. Highly recommend as a fun gift to adults and kids." —Katie A. Lucy Lews Home is a small business that specializes in wall art. Promising review: "These are the best wall stickers I've gotten so far — they stick, the colors are perfect, and they come with the same amount of each color so you can do a pattern without repeating the colors. They look so freaking good in my laundry room! I also had enough left over to do my trash can too!" —Chelsea Bergseng Get a pack of 160 decals from Amazon for $18.95. Ban.do is a US-based small business that specializes in quirky accessories, home products, and stationery. Buzzfeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: This vase is so quirky and ADORABLE — every time I see it in my living room, it makes my heart happy. I am on a mission to make my living room space as un-boring as possible, and this may be a small piece, but it's got a BIG personality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun piece of decor! Promising review: "Saw Urban Outfitters had a tomato lamp for $100 and said hell naw. But then this lamp came along from the Amazon gods for just under $30 and no way I could pass up such a sick lamp. Smaller than anticipated but it's immaculate. Runs almost everyday/all day and has been doing great for a year now. Remote has never failed me yet (knock on wood)." —Samantha L. Check out a TikTok of the mushroom night-light in action. Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice [because] I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand Handy Cute Art is a small business based in Florida. Make sure to keep these away from little hands that might confuse them for their favorite snack. Promising review: "These magnets are the cutest thing, and I was so surprised by the texture being almost identical to a real goldfish! The magnet itself is also surprisingly strong, which was a great surprise. Got them as a gift for my partner 10/10" —Madeline Get it from Handy Cute Art from Etsy for $10.50. Promising review: "Good gift. Got these for my wife for her basement bar. They're cute on the pub table and great conversation pieces." —MJ Promising review: "Just received these cute little boxes and am in love with them. Very thick and sturdy plastic but easy enough to open. These will work perfectly for filling solid perfumes and giving out as stocking stuffer gifts as I don't have to worry about it being a snug fit/lid falling off. I imagine these would also be great for pretend food for kids' playsets or for a kid's trinket box. Overall, I love them, love their feel, love the colors, and am very happy." —Mary Check out a TikTok of the disco ball in action, make sure to grab some essential oils for the full experience! Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins. Also, according to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA. Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE my disco ball diffuser! It brings me joy. The diffuser works great and has timed options. You can use the disco ball without diffusing too. Lots of pretty color-changing options or you can have it cycle through all of the colors which is what I choose to do. There are two spinning modes too…slow and fast or you can set it to not spin at all. Get one. You WON’T be disappointed!! 🪩🫶🏼😍" —Heather Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in two sizes). Nebula Colors is a small business that specializes in unique home decor. Promising review: "Absolutely obsessed! I have seen plastic ones, and well, ceramic is definitely a much better option. Beautiful quality, lots of compliments!" —Kate Get it from Amazon for $35+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "OMG! I love this guy! These things, large and small, will ALWAYS make me laugh. My husband bought the desk version for me, and I can always count on it to make me laugh. My co-workers love it, too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" —Mark Promising review: "Everything about these sponges is great. The design and printing is very well done, with clear tasteful colors, and the sponges themselves are quality. I use them in the guest bathroom sink side with the soap dish and they actually strike your eye a little pop of pop art — that's how nicely the printing is done. I bought them for me but they would be a wonderful bookclub gift." —isecond Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.99. Promising review: "I actually did not know anything like this existed. I was watching TikTok and saw someone use it to allow the light to shine in without people being able to stare into their home. So I decided to give it a try, and am so glad I did. It is beautiful. I currently have it on a small window, and the difference it makes as opposed to aluminum foil is amazing. Plus, if you like a little light but not an over-abundant amount, this is the stuff to use. Very easy to put up, very happy with my purchase." —Eva Thomas Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in eight sizes) Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" —Karen Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in 10 sizes and 18 patterns). Check out a TikTok of the rain cloud diffuser in action. Promising review: "Love it! It’s so super cute! We call it our shroomcloud. It's peaceful and the mood changing colors are the best! I love hearing the subtle sound of water. Ahhh, zen! Works great as a diffuser with a few drops of your favorite essential oils, too." —Krissy Promising review: "This was perfect for displaying my Eras tour bracelets. Love the color and the quality." —MyLisaSerena Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 11 colors). Promising review: "I received this as a gift for my birthday and it looks absolutely beautiful. The heat level, timer, everything about it is amazing!!!!" —Kristen Get it from Amazon for $27.90 (also available as a regular candle warmer). Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE this mirror! Super easy to hang up on the wall and sat perfectly still when I had to set the bottom on the floor to prop it up! The felt fabric is super soft! Pretty good/normal size! The color is GIVING! And it honestly wasn’t TOO heavy!" —Keisha Get it from Amazon for $119.99 (available in five styles). This is what Buzzfeed writer, Emma Lord had to say: " ^^^ That's my Galinda fever dream of a bedroom up here. I put this pillow in so many pieces for BuzzFeed that I finally just caved and bought her myself. I love her. She makes me so happy every morning when I make my bed and finish it off with a little bow on top. And then I get to "unwrap" her at the end of the day with the gift of sleep. Highly recommend, it changed the whole mood of my (admittedly very pink) room!" Promising review: "I really love this pillow! I got the darker pink color and it looks great. It feels like good quality and it’s a decent size, a really cute decorative addition to my room. Overall would recommend :)." —KSK9 Get it from Urban Outfitters for $24 (originally $49; available only in the light pink color). 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 $4.52 (and check out a whole bunch of similar prints in the Etsy shop!). This will hang off the edge of any flat, even surface and is actually a functional clock! Promising review: "This is an awesome clock for anyone who loves Dali and surrealist art. It is a great value for the money, considering it is super cool and good quality. The whole clock is encased in a distorted plastic bubble, which is very cool. The metallic part is also plastic, which is fine. It ticks a bit loudly, but I personally like that. I'm just glad such a cool clock is also fully functional." —Zach Promising review: "I love this as I’m getting into my super pink era. 💅🏼 It’s a nice weight and not easily breakable. It holds a lot of knickknacks too, from lipsticks to trinkets. I also think it’s really cute. Going to get a number of these to put around my home." —Agusta Get it from Amazon for $14.96+ (available in three shades). 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: "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 $12.34+ (available in three styles, two sizes, and in packs). Check out a TikTok of the cherry toilet brush in action. Promising review: "This toilet brush makes me want to clean my toilet. It is so cute, exactly what I wanted, and works perfectly!!
