Pack Your Home With Decor That Sparks Joy With These 37 PiecesMarie Kondo wouldn’t throw a single thing away.

1. A fanciful mushroom kitchen timer, which is so much more endearing than using your phone or screaming at Alexa. It also has a glowing 4.4-star rating on Amazon, which is kinda unheard of for novelty timers. This winds up and times up to 60 minutes, ending in a loud buzzer. Reviewers also use it to help time themselves with work tasks and studying. 

Promising review: “This is whimsical and fun; my kids love it. I tell them their dinner comes from a fairy mushroom forest. 😋 Works great, keeps my little monsters in line — ‘Dad, the mushroom went off.’ Love it.” —Vik V

Get it from Amazon for $8.95 (available in four colors). 

2.

A kitschy cherry toilet brush and matching shower curtain charms to make your bathroom feel like the sweetest place to be.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review (for the toilet brush): “Totally matched my cherry decor for my business’ bathroom (art gallery). It made me laugh. It’s art and a toilet brush! Not sure who else needs a toilet brush shaped like a cherry. Apparently, I did, though.” —Rudy P

Get the toilet brush for $16.99 and 12 cherry charms for $14.59 from Amazon.

3. A Georgian-inspired lover’s eye painting that’ll be the perfect addition to your growing gallery wall. *considers getting a lover’s eye portrait of my dog*
Anthropologie

The art prints were painted by Susannah Carson and come housed in a wood frame.

Promising review: “Absolutely love this print! Amazing idea for art! I love the way it looks on my wall with my other pictures. I love how it is both modern and traditional.” —Mjg27

Get it from Anthropologie for $108+ (available in seven colors). 

4. A set of book-shaped sponges — with punny names like Moby Dish, Pride and Prejudish, and The Sponge Also Rises — that’ll make cleaning kind of fun. How novel! 

Promising review: “Everything about these sponges is great. The design and printing are very well done, with clear colors, and the sponges themselves are quality. I use them in the guest bathroom sink side with the soap dish. I bought them for me, but they would be a wonderful book club gift.” —isecond

Get a set of three from Amazon for $10. 

5. A Lego cherry blossom kit for decor you can build yourself. The 430-piece set comes with everything you need to build two stems, and at less than $10, it’s a steal compared to most Lego kits.

Promising review: “Great afternoon activity. All of the flower Lego sets are great for a break and getting your mind off things. We have several different flower ones in a vase, and they all seem to fit nicely together.” —Jeremy Moeller 

Get it from Amazon for $9.59. 

6. And because you need somewhere to put your Lego creation: a vase shaped like a stack of dice that will roll its way into your heart and onto the coffee table. 

Promising review: “Super cute iridescent dice vase! it was smaller than I expected, but it holds these two Lego flower stems. It’s good quality for the price and super fun!” —Sarah Coleman

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in five other styles). 

7. A sad duck night-light ready to cheer you up — because at least you’ve never felt so down you’ve melted into the table. 
Rebecca O’Connell / BuzzFeed

My husband got me this light as a gift, and I can confirm it’s very cute. If you firmly tap or squeeze it, you can toggle between three brightness settings. It’s not bright enough to read by, but it works quite nicely as a night-light or for mood lighting. The legs are wiggly, which is definitely a selling point for me. 

Promising review: “This little lamp is BEYOND adorable. I got it as a gift for my niece, and she loved it. It’s super cute, has a soft squishy texture, and has a little X for his butt. Maybe some won’t like the little X, but it just adds extra cuteness. Worked right out of the box. Seemed pretty bright. Squish him, and the level changes. I can’t speak to life expectancy, but it seems decent enough quality. Freaking adorable! Way better than expected.” —KF

Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

8. A Novogratz rainbow doormat that’ll look great-ient outside your door. Reviewers say they were really impressed by the weight and quality, which is always nice to hear about novelty items!Promising review: “The cutest way to brighten up a drab apartment walkway. Colors are vivid, mat is sturdy and has held up well.” —Sav

Get it from Amazon for $21.99.

9. A decorative seashell pillow giving dreamy ’70s beach house vibes to your home. Even if you don’t live near the water, this will bring you one step closer. 

Promising review: “This thing is so soft and so pretty, and the color is so rich! I thought I’d be throwing it off the bed like, well, a throw pillow (I just got why they’re called that), but I end up essentially snuggling it like a stuffed animal because it’s so comfortable. It adds the right amount of ’60s/’70s campy hotel kitsch to my room.” —Ashley Diamond

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).

10. A Ban.do match holder and striker that lets you have your cake and light it too. You can place six matches around the cake to mimic the look of birthday candles, and the whipped cream lid comes off to reveal storage inside — what you put in there is your business. 😉 

FYI — one of the product photos says the striker is on the lid, but according to reviewers, it’s on the bottom. Anyway, I strongly recommend getting these pink matches to go with it. 

Promising review: “Fantastic product! Quality product for the price. Well packaged in its own box and styrofoam for protection. Highly recommend this seller and product!” —CookieSecrets

Get it from Amazon for $20.95.

11. A mini ceramic bathtub complete with drainage holes you can use to hold your soap, sponge, houseplant, loose change, etc. Buy a bunch and *clean up* all your loose knickknacks. 

Check out a TikTok of the mini ceramic bathtub in action. 

Promising review: “I ordered two of these. One I used as a regular soap dish in my tub. It has holes for drainage, which is a plus. I also used it as a cute plant decanter. I placed some succulents in it, and voila … the cutest planter for my bathroom.” —Diane Sheehan

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in six colors). 

12. A croissant candle that actually smells like bread, butter, and sugar when you light it. The best part is you can actually use it without feeling bad because the ceramic shape doesn’t melt. And! You can use it as a catch-all when the wax is gone. 
Urban Outfitters

Promising review: “It smells really nice, and when the candle is all used up, I’m looking forward to using it to store small things.” —Aria5612

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $24.

13. A set of rainbow wineglasses ensuring every guest can have their favorite color…as long as they all have different favorite colors. If a fight breaks out for the green glass, be assured that — at less than $10 a glass — you can always buy a second set. 

Amazon

The Wine Savant is a New York-based small business established in 2017 that specializes in unique, quality drinkware and accessories. 

Promising review: “Love these! Wasn’t ready to splurge on Estelle stemmed glasses so I got these instead. I’ve run them through the dishwasher once so far, and they held up fine. Glass is thin near the top, which I love in a wineglass. I would recommend!” —Tricia

Get a set of six from Amazon for $49.95.

14. And because we all love brightly-colored kitchenware, a color-coded Cuisinart knife set that looks cute *and* helps you avoid cross-contamination at a quick glance. I would say this also saves time having to pull each knife out of the block to check the blade, but *obviously* you’re going to have these on display. 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 holder, but you can snag an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them, as 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. 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. At this price, they are worth every penny. I wouldn’t have a problem spending $40–$50 for these knives.” —GWP

Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $16.98.

15. A three-tier floor lamp with removable ring lights you can rearrange orrrr practice your juggling routine with. Reviewers note you should keep it out of high-traffic areas where it can be bumped, but if one LED ring does fall, there’s a three-year warranty. 

Brightech is a California-based small business that specializes in home lighting. 

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 were 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 $79.99+ (available in four styles).

16. A “Gracula” garlic crusher that ironically helps you with one of the most tedious chores in the kitchen. Just throw in the peeled cloves, twist, and feel grateful you Let the Right One In…to your kitchen. 

Promising review: “I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!” —Barbie

Get it from Amazon for $19.96.

17. An upside-down cake chandelier complete with cherries, sprinkles, and dangling crystals. This will look soooo sweet in your home! 
Beth Townsend UnBaked / Etsy

This doesn’t light up, but the crystals will catch the sunlight and possibly shoot rainbows into your room. Beth Townsend UnBaked is a small business that sells fake desserts as decor. 

Get it from Beth Townsend UnBaked on Etsy for $325.50 (available in three colors).

18. A pretty satin bow throw pillow for people who want to keep their coquette vibes going even while they sleep. 

Urban Outfitters

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 $34 (originally $49; available in seven colors). 

19. A book-shaped flower vase you’ll want to write a whole novella about. There’s just so much to love about it, from its minimalist design to its slim, easy-to-store shape. 

Check out a TikTok of the book vase in action. 

Promising review: “The vase was so pretty I bought a second! They’re durable and very appealing to the eye. I will be purchasing more.” —kayla

Get it from Amazon for $11.66 (available in four colors). 

20. A paw-shaped chair cushion, because who doesn’t want to be lovingly cradled in a kitten’s paw?Amazon

Promising review: “I freaking LOVE this paw cushion! This paw cushion absolutely saves my butt. It’s not super thick or as filled as you might hope. But I read reviews and was prepared for that. A little extra padding would be great, but even without it, this cushion is soft and comfy! It’s still worth every dime. It’s perfect if you have one of those hanging indoor/outdoor rope chairs, too! This cushion is soft, cute, and comfortable. Buy yourself this thing. You deserve it.” —mandarabbit

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes and eight colors).

21. A 3D-printed, modular Gothic tower plant pole offering a romantic place for your pothos or ivy to climb up. There’s a watering tower on top and a column base that fits securely in the planter.
The Argent Rose / Etsy

This is a stackable, mix-and-match set. Make sure you buy the starter set first or else you’ll just be buying a single piece. 

Promising review: “Thank you very much for this stunning moss pole! It looks great with my plant, the delivery was as described (in fact, it was delivered much faster than I assumed), and the quality of the 3D print is so good that you barely notice that it is 3D printed. A lovely product! :)” —Kristina Gröber-Stein

Get it from The Argent Rose on Etsy for $130.63 (available in five colors).

22. A sweet little candle warmer that shines a light on your favorite candle. The 50-watt warming bulb provides a flame-free way to enjoy a well-scented home. Bonus: It also extends the life of your candle. 
Amazon

Promising review: “Not sure why I didn’t buy this in the first place!! With this lamp, the smell of the candle is stronger and lingers longer! At the moment, it’s on my kitchen counter, and I can smell the candle all the way up in my bedroom!” —stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 13 styles). 

23. Or a paw-some mug warmer to heat up drinks, candles, and wax melts. There’s a little screen on the cat’s forehead that tells you the temperature so you can keep your drink or candle at the *purrfect* temperature. 
Tip: Warming a candle instead of lighting lets you enjoy the fragrance without dealing with an open flame. It also extends the life of the candle, so this thing kind of pays for itself. The feet are meant to be used as a phone holder, but personally, I would not put my phone on a hot object. 

Promising reviews: “I thought I’d try putting my wax melt in there and see how long it would take to melt. It took less than five minutes to melt it!! Also, it feels kinda heavy and dense, like it was made out of good material. I love it. 😭 It’s gonna be good for my tea time AND make my office smell good.” —Allisen

“I’m a teacher, so I NEVER get to finish my coffee in one sitting. This thing has made my day so much better. No matter how long ago I made my coffee, each and every sip tastes like it was just brewed. Very happy!” —Amanda Fausto

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 10 styles and one option with an included mug). 

24. A dino nugget plush because stuffed animals make the best throw pillows. Now you can just add some stuffed peas and a plush pile of mashed potatoes to hide them under. 
Promising review: “Adorable, soft, textured fabric, great stitching, and most importantly, plenty of fluff! It came vacuum-packed but quickly reshaped. I was planning on making this custom myself, but for the price, I’m very pleased, and I have one less project on my plate.” —Mackenzie

Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in two sizes, three shapes, and different pack sizes). 

25. A mushroom cup that looks like something a fairy might use to hold flowers or tiny pens on their desk while they do paperwork. Even the tooth fairy has to do paperwork, unfortunately. 
Amazon

Promising review: “I absolutely love this vase! This is my second purchase. I bought one for my daughter and one for her best friend. It is not a bright red, it’s more muted – which I love. It’s more of a soft burnt orange/red. It was the most wanted gift at the teenager Christmas gift exchange. It came in a cute box as well.” —Ernie Fonseca

Get it from Amazon for $20.21.

26. A 3D-printed miniature bookshelf bookend so you can have even more room for knickknacks. Personally, I would fill it with tiny books for an Xzibit-approved meta-decor move.
3DBookSwag / Etsy

Another idea: dollhouse miniatures, like candles, preserves, or Halloween decor.

Promising review: “I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE! I ordered three sets in black, and the seller was so nice and friendly. They customized the height to work with what I wanted to display on them and sent me designs and dimensions to verify everything was perfect. They look amazing, and I can’t wait to finish putting my crystals and mini witchy stuff on them. 😊” —Clarissa

Get it from 3DBookSwag on Etsy for $29.95 (available in three colors and with an optional flat side so it sits flush with your books). 

27. A fruit tart bed because your little blueberry needs the perfect place to rest their head — a kiwi pillow! You gotta love pet products that double as decor. Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

Take it from BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower: “Not only does my cat sleep in this every day, but she also loves playing fetch with the lightweight fruit. I often find her rolling the blueberries around the apartment. I dig having a pet bed that doubles as daily entertainment.”

Promising review: “The cats love it! They birdwatch in it until they fall asleep. They also play with the stuffed fruit, which I didn’t think they would. Both seem to enjoy it, and they fight over it at times. I bought the large. Very happy with this purchase! My cats are picky, and most things I buy turn out to be a waste, not this one!” —A Hutch

Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (also available in three other shapes).

28. A hummingbird lamp with three brightness levels and a touch sensor that doubles as an aroma diffuser if you add 3–4 drops of essential oil to the top of its head. Name something that would make you feel more like Cinderella! 

Promising review: “I literally have no idea why I bought this. It was a suggested item and looked interesting, so I was like, ‘lol, okay.’ I can’t believe how much I like it LOL. It looks and feels much nicer than you’d think (maybe even classy), and the battery lasts forever. It has three shades of light, and it’s extremely bright.” —K 

Get it from Amazon for $19.39. 

29. A darling strawberry vase you can fill with flowers, pens, kitchen tools — or, if you wanna go for realism, a leafy houseplant. 
Amazon

Promising review: “Smaller than expected, but I love it for making cute, bright, happy arrangements. Looks great with daisies of all sorts.” —dayna haley

Get it from Amazon for $26.95.

30. A bunch of floral-scented grape soap that pretty much blows all other decorative soap out of the water. Handmade by a mother and son with olive oil and natural fragrances, these vegan soaps can be displayed in a bowl or hung anywhere you want some nice, subtle scents. 

Handmade Soap Emporium / Etsy

Promising review: “Fragrance is evident without being overpowering. Craftsmanship is exceptional. This is a unique piece that makes a beautiful gift.” —anabtawi

Get it from Handmade Soap Emporium on Etsy for $24.38 (available in 10 colors/scents). 

31. A helpful little mouse carrying a light for you — thank you, mouse! To show their appreciation, one reviewer even knit a little outfit for it. 

The lightbulb is LED and the base is plastic painted gold. 

Promising review: “I saw a similar light in an Airbnb that we stayed at, and it was love at first sight! It adds a little humor and cottage charm to our semi-modern home. I could not be more in love with this little gem!” —Tammy Hawkins

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two styles).

32. A pretty tea cup set that looks like your mug is floating on a cloud. How delicate! How dreamy! Time to make an elaborate latte and take 100 photos of you drinking it. 

Reviewers are split on the size — the opening measures 3.2 inches wide, and it can hold drinks up to 6.5 ounces. 

Promising review: “I bought this completely on a whim, and it was totally worth it. Adorable cup, a lot bigger than I expected it to be! I haven’t put anything in it yet, so I can’t say whether or not it stains, but it’s still very cute regardless.” —AEL

Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in five colors).

33. A lacy bottle apron for hosts with a sense of humor. Now you can chide your underdressed guests with: “Look, even the wine out-dressed you.”
Coming Soon

The aprons are made of linen and cotton, and hilariously come with model details: “Model is 750mL and is wearing a sized small.” 

Coming Soon is a home and gift design shop in New York. 

Get it from Coming Soon for $32 (available in three styles). 

34. A disco ball diffuser so your next dance party can smell like, really good. Add your favorite fragrance, pick one of seven color settings, and watch as the diffuser spins and puts on a light show. 
Promising review: “This dopamine decor really hits the spot. Ordered one and noticed I wasn’t receiving a strong mist after a few uses. I contacted the company through Instagram and within minutes, I got a response and confirmation a new one was going to be sent. We are still going strong with this new one, and I use it EVERY DAY.” —Addie Miller

Get it from Amazon for $39.97.

35. A three-pack of color drip candles that reveal more and more hues the longer they’re lit. What a delightful surprise!Promising review: “Love these candles! Don’t be deterred by the candles out of the box; though they are mostly white on the outside, there are lots of primary color pockets on the inside. They do take a while to burn (three to four hours, by my count), but the results are by far worth being patient for. As the flame works through the candle, the primary color pockets blend with the white as well as with each other to create a wide range of colors…I’ve seen yellows, oranges, reds, pinks, greens, and blues on my finished bottles.” —5ammosh

Get six candles from Amazon for $9.99.

36. Sweet lil’ flower magnets offering some springy charm all year round. I highly recommend sticking these to your locker or filing cabinet to make school/work hours feel less bleh. 

Promising review: “They are actually cuter than the picture and I got the same colors as pictured. The magnets aren’t super strong but will hold an index card, picture, or a couple of sheets of paper.” —Jessica Bell

Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in two sizes).

37. And a flower bath mat that’s soooo fluffy, you’ll find yourself visiting the bathroom just to step on it. 🎵 Will you pardon me and tiptoe through the tulips with me? 🎵Amazon

This rug is on the smaller side, which makes it a great choice for apartments. 

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and three styles).
