…because who said you can’t have it all.
1. A plug-in mushroom night-light so you can feel like you’re sleeping in an enchanted forest. It activates when it’s in the dark and these magical ‘shrooms even change colors! You’ll never have to blindly run to the restroom in the middle of the night because you’ll have this cutie to guide your way.
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 that 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

2. A Michael Scott/Prison Mike dishwasher magnet that’s reversible so you’ll have a status update on your dirty dishes in case that, *ahem* someone, always puts dirty plates in when everything else is clean. This is so genius it deserves a Dundie award. 🏆 Promising review: “My whole family is a fan of The Office, so when I was searching for a magnet we could use on our dishwasher, this was the hands-down winner. Does it go with my farmhouse decor? Nope, not at all. But it does get the attention of two teenage boys. Had I gone with something a bit more my decor style, I can guarantee you it would not be as useful. I mean, we all would much rather see Prison Mike staring back at us than suit and tie Michael Scott, right? And there is only one way for that to happen…clean out the dishwasher!” —R. Funk

3. A home-y tissue box cover to cry in style instead of pulling out tissues from a cardboard box. It could even put a smile on your face from 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.”

4. A vinyl coaster set so unique and fun, that whoever comes over will actually want to use one instead of you having to keep reminding them. When these aren’t in use, they stack neatly onto the record player holder.Â
Promising review: “I love these! They are so cute and they get compliments every time someone sees them. They aren’t too big or small and they don’t take up a lot of space on the table.” —Candace

6. A disco ball planter for all you plant parents out there to hang on your ceilings. It comes with a sturdy chain and a macrame hanger making for easy setup — so groovy!
It also comes with an acrylic desk stand if you don’t want to bother hanging it up!
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 $25.97+ (available in three colors and three sizes).Â
7. An invisible shelf that looks so realistic, every time you look over to your wall, you’ll think Harry Potter has cast a spell. Even though we do wish those powers were a reality, this shelf just creates an optical illusion when you put 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 $15.77+Â (available in two sizes. two colors, and packs of three).
8. A cow pitcher that’s so cute, you won’t have to set hourly alarms reminding you to drink water — you’ll want to keep sipping out of this. The head turns into a cup; it’s udder-ly adorable!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
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+Â (available in two sizes).
9. A cloud-shaped magnetic key holder to stick your keychain on when you get home. It definitely *won’t* rain on your parade — you’ll just be smiling at this adorable piece. Promising review: “So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far I really like it. It’s obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I’m really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys and so far it’s holding strong. I hung it with Command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it’s level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I’m very tempted to get one for my at-work office.” —D. CarterÂ
Get it from Amazon for $7.48.
10. Or 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.Â

It has three brightness levels, 16 volume levels, and a rechargeable battery, and is compatible with all Qi-enabled phones.
Promising review: “This is exactly what I was looking for — a bedside clock that has an alarm, LED display, radio option, built-in speakers…and then it has MORE features! I didn’t expect the Bluetooth capability, ability to charge my phone, or the night-light function (with three brightness settings). It’s perfect for my needs and it looks great, too!” —M. Reaves
Get it from Amazon for $51.99.
12. A three-tiered ring floor lamp that’s like a ring toss but ~adult~. It’s the perfect mood lighting — not too harsh but also not too dark. Each ring should last up to 20,000 hours so you’ll NEVER have to replace them!

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. Other than that, I love the light. I’d definitely recommend it to others.” —Carmelita Joy
Get it from Amazon for $75.99+ (available in three colors).
13. A fun toilet paper holder so you can put this lil’ guy to work and make sure the restroom stays stocked with TP. It comes with a hidden hook to hold the rolls and keep them secured.Â
It comes with screws and a wall mount. You can store hand towels, tissues — basically anything that’ll fit on here!
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 $27.50Â (available in six styles).
14. A corner rack because even your bathroom deserves to look nice. Plus if your counter is on the smaller side, this will help you make the most of your space with its three tiers! Promising review: “I have very little storage space and this thing is a lifesaver to keep my bathroom counter from looking like a total mess. It was easy to put together and holds up well.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+Â (available in six colors).
15. A prismatic window film to turn your home into a joyous place filled with rainbows when the sun shines through. It also acts as a privacy shield from the outside world and nosy neighbors.Â
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 from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 sizes).
16. A macrame fruit hammock so your groceries can *lounge* around in mid-air instead of taking up counter space. Plus, you’ll be able to see all the fruits you have rather than letting them rot at the bottom of a bowl. BeanDaikon / Etsy

Just the right amount of cushion!” —Keri Brewer

19. A rope basket to keep your place nice and tidy — even if you decide to just toss anything and everything in there. Not only will it impress you, but it’ll definitely amaze your mom knowing that you finally have your life together.Amazon
Promising review: “I love this basket. We use it to store the living room throw blankets and pillows rather than having them pile up on the couch. It fits a lot, and the quality is good, not cheap looking/feeling. I can tell it’s the type of product that will last a long time. I would definitely consider buying from this brand again. The very minor downside is that it comes with a big crease from the way it’s packaged, but I’m sure it’ll go away after some time — no biggie.” —DHz
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
20. A dino nugget pillow because these were all the hype during your childhood, and let’s be real, probably your adulthood too. This is more than just decor — it’s so plush that you’ll be cuddling it all day long (just don’t take a bite of it even though it looks so yummy).Â

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 $18.99 (available in three styles).
25. A vintage-inspired toaster because who doesn’t love a retro-looking appliance? Though this baby looks ancient, it has settings for bagels and defrosting plus a removable crumb tray for easy cleanup — we love modern features!

Amazon
Promising reviews: “I am thoroughly and I mean thoroughly happy that I bought these curtains! I bought three sets (two panels each) for three windows in the living room. I bought the 108-inch as I have floor-to-ceiling windows. They just look absolutely amazing with my dark walls. The fabric is absolutely amazing — it’s good quality, none of the stitching was loose or torn or anything like that, and all of the grommets were set exactly as they should be. If you’re even remotely thinking about spending money on curtains… BUY THESE. …SERIOUSLY… BUY THEM…” —Lexus Cherry
“Great curtains and very aesthetic. I didn’t want the cheap-looking blackout curtains but I didn’t want to sell my left kidney for the nice ones. These are a great price, they look really nice and block light extremely well. I work night shift and now I have to worry about waking up on time rather than falling asleep in a reasonable amount of time. I would definitely recommend these.” —Katy

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord also swears by hers. Here’s her rave review: “I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it’s pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I’ll use it as a tray. It’s also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn’t even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I’m tempted to buy another!).”
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
30. Or a folding storage ottoman so you can put all the random junk lying around in there instead of a clear storage box. It’s so cute no one will even think about what you shoved in there. Amazon
Promising review: “This ottoman is very useful. It doesn’t have a tray, but if you turn the lid, it can be used as a tray. It’s not very big, but I can rest and put my feet there.
