Promising review: “I saw this on TikTok, and our toddler has turned our apartment in such a dirty place. Stains everywhere! Our sofa was in such bad condition (which we only got it two years ago) that we were thinking of getting a new one. We decided to try this, and it is a miracle worker. Iâm so glad we bought this.

I LOVE the way it hugs my body and gives me a feeling of comfort. I also like the airflow and chunky-knit fabric/design, which is different from others I have seen. It’s not only functional but also decorative. The weight/size guide was helpful in recommending the correct weight, and I honestly sleep better with this napper! I highly recommend it! ” âElise W.

Get it from Amazon for $129.95+Â (available in two styles)
10. A towel warmer here to transform your bathing experience because there’s nothing that feels more luxurious than stepping out of your hot shower (or bath) during the cold winter months and wrapping yourself in a toasty warm towel.Amazon
It fits about two towels (or even a towel and a robe or other fabric items) and has a 15-minute adjustable timer.
Promising review: “I bought one for myself, then bought several others as presents because it’s so nice. It’s fairly small and easy to find space for even in a small bathroom but is also big enough to hold two large towels at a time. There are a few small things to watch for: occasionally the on button takes a bit of finagling to work; it takes about eight minutes to hit ‘maximum’ towel warmth; if the lid is askew/not fully on the towel loses a lot of heat; there’s a bit of a plastic odor that goes away after the first few uses. But if you’re aware of those things it’s super luxurious and worth every penny, having a super-warm towel waiting for you counters all the misery of having to leave the shower in the winter. It also makes a great present, it’s the kind of luxury item people don’t normally think to get for themselves but makes life so much better. Anybody who says you can’t buy happiness obviously hasn’t bought a towel warmer.” âHeather
Get it from Amazon for $124.99.
11. An acrylic plant hanger made to fit in your windowsill so you have a place to not only store your ~growing~ collection of plants, but also display them.Indoor Window Gardens / Etsy

Promising review: “Not only do these shelves look amazing and give me so much more room for my plants but the customer service is amazing! I forgot to order extensions with my order so I contacted the shop and they helped me by making a special listing for the extensions. They placed them in my original order so everything came together. If youâre looking for a window shelf, this is it!!” âJamie Miner
Get it from Indoor Window Gardens on Etsy for $66.60+ (available in three styles and four mounting options).
12. A bathtub caddy to take your “me” time to a new level. You may never leave the bathroom now because you’ll be able to keep all your essentials (e.g., a candle, tea, phone, etc.) close to you without fear of anything getting wet.Not only is it size adjustable to accommodate different tubs, it comes equipped with a wineglass holder, edges that safely prop up a book or tablet, a candleholder, and extra space for whatever else their cozy heart desires.
Promising review: “When I placed my order for this tray I looked at the pics but did not realize how really cool this piece is. The ability to change the size is great, but I just love the different trays that are removable as well as the ability to put my phone and a Kindle in ‘safe’ areas of the tray. I found a perfect place for my TV remote should I want to watch TV and not read. I just got it and used it last night but it appears to be well-made, balanced, and offers versatility for the things you may want at your fingertips when taking a luxurious bath!” âSindiMcG
Get it from Amazon for $44.97+ (available in 13 colors and styles).
13. A touchless stationary vacuum here to revolutionize the way you sweep because you’ll never had to deal with a flimsy dustpan again.

An indicator light will turn on to let you know that the canister is full, and then you can remove the canister and dump the debris in the trash.
Promising review: “I saw it on Tiktok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum, which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into, and it sucks them right up. Sure, it’s more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I’ve only had it three days and have used it two times.” âAmazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $149+Â (available in nine colors and styles).
14. A Slip silk pillowcase here to make sleep feel even more like a ~dream~, especially when you wake up without sleep lines or bedhead. (Not to mention your skin looking great, too!)Slip
The pillowcase is made from 100% silk, which is less absorbent than other fibers. This means that all those products you put on your skin and in your hair stays where they belong. Plus, silk reduces friction, causing less pulling on both your hair and skin â leaving both looking and feeling better when you wake up in the morning.
Promising review: “This is an investment, and it is so worth it. I have curly, frizzy hair, and this has been a lifesaver. I actually wake up with my hair looking OK rather than like a clown. The pillowcase is soft and no doubt good for my skin. You do have to hand-wash it, which isn’t too difficult, and it dries super quick, too.” âPeanut13
Get it from Amazon (available in two sizes 18 colors and patterns) or from Nordstrom (available in 11 colors) for $89+ (also available in king size).
15. A mini projector to transform your living room (or even bedroom) into a whole theater experience. Friday night sounds like a perfect night to build a blanket fort and snuggle in for a movie marathon using this projector. Those happy hour plans? Consider them cancelled.
Promising review: “I’ve been wanting a projector for a while now after seeing it on TikTok, and this one hits the mark. The quality is crisp and clear to the point you donât really need a projector screen. The sound can go pretty loud. Most importantly, it can connect to my iPhone and MacBook. I got it as a gift, and Iâm very happy with it. It doesnât come with the Apple adapter, but you can find it for cheap separately anyway. No complaints so far.” âAmazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $57.98.Â

Promising review: “I kind of ordered this sofa ‘blindly.’ I’d been eyeing Joybird for years and never went for it. Wow, am I glad I did! We have four kids, and this sofa fits all of us comfortably!

Promising review: “I was skeptical about purchasing this item because most kettles on the market are priced lower than this, but I do have to say:Â ***It is worth every freaking penny.*** This kettle heats up lightning fast to the degree chosen, holds temp, is easy to pour, and it did make the best cup of coffee in my life. Another thing that sets this kettle apart from any other electric kettle really is that it is very very easy to clean! It is worth the investment.” âAllison J.

Promising review: “I saw this product on one of Amazonâs must-have TikTok videos, and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it â even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is topnotch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesnât interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse, and this technology has helped me get through the night easily. đđœđđœđđœ” âAmazon Customer

Promising review: “First time I have ever been moved to write a review on Amazon but this is the single most amazing product if you sleep hot! This thing WORKS and it is saving my life! It only took a NASA engineer to solve my propensity to burst into flames every night at 2 a.m.!” âMatthes
Get it from Amazon for $489+Â (available in two unit styles and sheet sizes QâK).
22. A Nespresso Vertuo with the power to make such delicious coffee at home you won’t have to venture out to a coffee shop. And if you’re more of a latte person, you can get a bundle with the Aeroccino that will froth milk in second with the touch of a button.
Promising review: “Nespresso machine is the best investment I have made in my kitchen. Since I tasted delicious coffee, I will never drink any other brand. I use to drink Starbucks daily, for which I would spend $6 a day, but now I ONLY spend a dollar or two (think of a long-term saving). I would definitely recommend this coffee maker. Thank you, Nespresso, for making such a delicious coffee, I am in heaven each morning.” âsenada
Get it from Amazon for $215.20+Â (available in four styles and three colors).Â
23. A standing hammock chair here to give you the cutest (and comfiest) little reading nook you’ve ever seen. This design is great because you don’t have to worry about hanging it from a ceiling, which is ideal if you’re a renter or just not handy with a drill.
Promising review: “I got (cream color) this chair for my sunroom, and I love it! It’s very sturdy, and it took my husband about 10 minutes to put together. You can make the stand go wherever you want, I have mine to the side because it saves more space that way, but you can have the bar in the back like the display picture. The chair and stand are a dark brown, not black, and the strands in between are kind of a tan string color. I wanted black, but I got it anyway because it still looks great! Itâs so comfy and roomy, and it can be set in place with a tie down where it only allows you to sway, or you donât have to use the tie down and it can spin in circles and just go all over the place. Itâs so cute and worth every penny. Amazing! Get it.” âJordan Cox
Get it from Amazon for $199.95 (available in three colors).Â
24. An acrylic Squatty Potty anyone ~clearly~ needs, because it not only works just as well as the regular version, but it also will actually be a beautiful addition to whatever bathroom it’s in.Amazon
Promising review: “This thing is SLEEK! I bought this for my new home’s main floor guest bath. We wanted to provide guests with the convenience of ‘squat pot’ without the eyesore of the white 7-inch one. I feel like if Kim and Kanye had a Squatty Potty, it would be this one. I find it’s shaped SLIGHTLY different than my white 7-inch one, and I like that. I also find no squeaking noise as I pull or push it from the basin of the toilet, unlike my white one. My guests didn’t notice it was there until I pointed it out. Go with the ghost acrylic, you won’t regret it!” âDurga D
Get it from Amazon for $74.99+Â (available in two styles).
25. An Instant Pot because, sure, you *could* order delivery every night, or you could invest in this gadget that’s a pressure cooker, a slow cooker, a rice cooker, a steamer, a sautĂ©-r, a yogurt maker, and a warmer all in ONE. You’ll be able to easily make dinner in no time. And your bank account will thank you for that.
It can prep food up to 70% faster than other methods. Plus, it can keep food warm for up to 10 hours. Check out our full Instant Pot review for more deets!
Promising review: “This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget Iâve ever owned. I love it so much that Iâve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is ‘What canât it do?’ I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the 3-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the 8-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything Iâve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!” âStereoman
Get it from Amazon for $83.99+ (available in three sizes).
26. A Barefoot Dreams throw blanket with a cult following that includes Chrissy Teigen and the Kardashians. You’ll feel like royalty when you snuggle under this ultra-soft and binge watch The Crown.The blanket is made from 100% polyester microfiber blend that makes it SUPER soft. It can be washed on cold and tumbled dry on low.
Promising review: “Chrissy Teigen tweeted that she loved this blanket and mentioned that it easily stretches over the shoulders and feet. Let me tell you, it does. I’m only 5’5″ so it does the trick. This blanket makes me look forward to going to sleep. It’s not too warm yet you feel wrapped up in a cloud. Totally worth the money. I want another one.” âM
Get it from Amazon for $124.99+Â (available in four colors).
27. A Rifle Paper Co. printed rug because if you’ve been eyeing this beauty for a while now, this is your sign that you need it in your life. It’s beautiful, will add some warmth to the room, and make you extremely happy when you look at it. OK, maybe this is just me convincing myself to finally hit “add to cart.”Rifle Paper Co.
