I’ll take a dose of practicality with a sprinkling of whimsy, please.

I am a contributor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for two years, with a focus on products that make parenting just a bit easier — and hopefully more fun — home decor, kitchen gadgets, and whatever deals I can scope out.

Promising review: "This changed my entire space dynamic!!! Soooo easy to install, I wish they had more prints. I would buy them for my whole house!!!" —SassafrasH

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $89 (available in four patterns).

Promising review: "A lovely little album, perfectly sized for a collection of photos (sitting on a tabletop) to peruse in quiet moments or to share with quiet guests to get the conversation going." —Janet K

Promising review: "I can’t believe the deal I got on this mirror, it’s huge and gorgeous! There is no assembly; just take it out of the box and set it on the floor with the attached stand. The gold trim is perfect, not cheap-looking at all. I love it!" —RayneMarie

Get it from Walmart for $32.99+ (originally $44.99+; available in three sizes, two colors, and in an LED version).

Promising review: "Really was a great surprise because I did not expect the quality to be so good! Very soft and the outside texture was a perfect match to the fabric of my couch, which is like a soft velvet material!" —Anonymous

Get them from Wayfair for $29.63+ (originally $73.99; available in 20 colors).

Promising review: "Really pretty! Great color." —mghcnwy

Promising review: "So soft and cozy! Beautiful accent!" —Carol

Get it from Wayfair for $17.99+ (originally $109.97+; available in four sizes and seven colors).

Promising review: "A piece you can put anywhere in your home. Beautiful and goes with any color scheme you desire. Great dimension and the shelves are the perfect size for a smaller decor piece, plant, or frame." —anonymous

Get it from Joybird for $245+ (available in six sizes).

Get it from Ikea for $34.99 (also available in black).

Promising review: "I purchased this sconce lamp for my daughter's room. It's so adorable, and I love the look of it in her room! The sconce has a touch sensor to turn on the lamp. You can tap it to change the color or hold your finger on it to dim/brighten. It comes with a remote, but we haven't used it very much to be honest (no issues, just more convenient to use the sensor with a little one). I was also concerned about how charging and taking it off the wall for charging would be, but it's actually very easy to remove from the nail and place back on the wall. We have only had to charge it once so far — the battery is supposed to last around 30 hours! Overall super pleased with this purchase and would recommend!" —Kelly

Promising review: "It turned out beautiful and is very intricate in its design. Looks just like the painting it depicts and looks great on my wall." —Jennifer Ankofski

Get a set of two from Nordstrom Rack for $34.97 (originally $39; available in five colors).

Get it from H&M for $9.99 (available in two colors). 

Each set comes with a duvet cover and two pillowcases.

Promising review: "I was really unsure about linen, expecting it to be rough or heavy. It is neither, and I love it so. Wish I had made the switch years ago." —Kristin C.

Get it from Brooklinen for $298.53+ (originally $428+; available in two sizes and 20 patterns and colors).

Promising review: "Just lovely. So serene and peaceful. Like a custom piece of art from a gallery." —Katy

Get it from Quince for $179+ (available in two sizes and four frame colors).

Promising review: "Honestly, my favorite purchase of my life. I have been doing my makeup on the floor in front of a full-length mirror for years now, and finally decided to treat myself to a vanity setup. This mirror is of amazing quality and very worth the price tag!" —Anthropologie Customer

Get it from Uncommon Goods for $209+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "This plant is everything I want in a faux plant! I love the creamy textured vase and the real-looking olive leaves. If I had a place for the bigger one, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. I love that the planter is not just in a plain white vase, looks more expensive than it is." —SamC

Promising review: "I sit in this every day. The material for the seating is easy to clean. It’s extremely attractive in the backyard. My doggie even likes it. The swing is not going to impress kids but we adults love the balanced feeling of the seat." —Zaba

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
