Get them from Amazon for $9.99.
4. A rotating disco ball diffuser because the best part about being at home is that you can have your favorite scent *all* over the house. The fact that it’s coming from a spinning disco ball will just boost your mood even more.
Check out a TikTok of the disco ball in action; make sure to grab some essential oils for the full experience!
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.
Promising reviews: “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. There are 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 and four colors).
5. A compliment-worthy seashell martini glass so gorgeous you’ll probably want to showcase it more as decor than drinkware! Use one as a jewelry catchall, another as a mini planter, the third as a tealight candle holder, and… okay, fine… the others as your go-to martini glass or dessert cup during your next dinner party.

A visually striking floor lamp with detachable, dimmable, *and* long-lasting LED light rings — something that will automatically give you bragging rights to your decor-enthusiast besties.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.

7. A holographic cloud mug and saucer set, a ~heavenly~ addition to any kitchen, if you ask me. You’ll feel like you’re having tea time with The Queen every time you reach for your homemade latte.
Promising review: “I recently purchased both the yellow and pink sets of cups and saucers, and I must say, they are absolutely adorable! The unique design and colors instantly caught my eye, and I couldn’t resist adding them to my collection. One of the things I love about these sets is their versatility. I occasionally like to mix and match the cups with different saucers, such as using the pink cup with the yellow saucer and vice versa. This adds a fun and playful element to my table setting and is always a conversation starter when I have guests over. Overall, I highly recommend them to anyone looking for cute and unique cups and saucers to add a touch of charm to their table setting.” —Sophie&Sam
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors and as a set of four).

Promising review: “Beautiful and very high-end. I am shocked by the quality of this mirror for under $200. The velvet is gorgeous in person and it is incredibly sturdy… It is really heavy, so if you want to hang it, make sure you have a stud. Its weight allows it to stay tilted on the ground, too, without moving around… I was really hesitant, but it looks like something from West Elm.” —Dan Schwalbe
Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in two styles and seven colors).

Get it from Anthropologie for $58 (available in two sizes, including a lemon design for $44).
20. A mixed set of coupe glasses and wine glasses with dark hues that ooze the vintage vibe. How are you supposed to have any fun with those plain ole clear ones anyway?
Amazon
Promising review (for the coupe glasses): “Even better than I thought! These are colorful but also subtle and go with all of the neutrals I have in my house without feeling off from my aesthetic. I love that guests can all have their own color! They are super light and well-packaged, and the texture is so nice. The top is short (common for this type of glass), so any overfilling could result in a mess, but if this is the type of glass you are looking for, these are perfect!” —Liz Dube
Get them both from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in four styles).

27. A super plush and cozy “dog bed for humans” so you can have the kind of naps your furry family members have. You know, the drooling, tongue out, not-a-sound-will-bother-you kind of nap they ALL have after a hard day of being cute. It’s super soft with the faux fur, but the slight firmness of the bed will make it impossible to leave.
Amazon
Promising review: “I saw this online and decided that I’m giving it a try. I have a hard time sleeping without feeling support around me. I toss and turn over 40 times per night, according to my sleep app. I tried this, hoping for the best, and I will say I slept like a baby for the first time in seven years. I put a pillow under each side to prop it up to make it cradle in more and I’m in heaven. I’m 57 and have had a hard time dealing with the emptiness of divorce.
