Promising review: "Okay, when I tell you I themed my ENTIRE bathroom for this toilet seat I am not exaggerating. My bathroom is still a work in progress, but the seat really ties everything together. I have never seen a seat nearly as cute as this one. I really look forward to pooping everyday!!! It's very high quality and sturdy. The lid has some resistance so it doesn't slam down which is great. The colors are vibrant, and the seat is pretty comfortable!

Here's more from BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer:

"This is the best product *I* bought this year, actually! When I saw this disco ball bar cart on TikTok (and BTW, that TikToker also says it's their best purchase of the year!!), I just knew I had to have it. It's from a small biz based in the UK and while it did take a while to arrive (as I expected), it was *well* worth the wait. The light bouncing off the mirror fragments and onto my walls is just dang beautiful. Between the bottom tray and the space inside the globe (yes, the globe OPENS UP!), there's a nice amount of storage for bottles and glassware. And unlike regular bar carts, the things you keep inside the globe will actually stay dust free. I bought the "champagne" color (which is a nice neutral cream-beige) but it comes in tons of colors that'll go perfectly with your home decor. "

Get it from Glam Globes on Etsy for $262.28 (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "10/10 stars would recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I love this chair! ❤️ I purchased it to go with my new desk in my back sunroom that I converted into a home office. It’s perfect! I’m at my desk most of the day and the chair is very comfortable. Sturdy, well-made, and easy to assemble." —Tiffany L.

Get it from Amazon for $109.98.

Promising review: "Absolutely in love with this headboard. It is EXACTLY as it looks in the photos, super high quality and has all the swanky vibes. Just like the other reviews say, it is super but also super easy to put together (did it by myself). My bed frame is a tall one so that is going to make the end tables a lil lower… but for me that's just fine. Overall the quality of this is beautiful and the style is very unique." —Crissa

Get it from Article for $699+ (available in Queen and King sizes and in two colors).

Promising review: "I purchased this for my kitchen and I'm in love! It's super soft and the rubber backing keeps it in place. I've ran the vacuum over it and the material didn't pull or anything so it's very good quality and super easy to clean." —Sarah B.

Get it from Amazon for $21.99.

Impact Racks is a small biz that refurbishes and repurposes used newspaper boxes. They're actually the supplier of said boxes (to publications like The New York Post, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today) so when one is ready to be retired, they swoop in and transform it into a record stand! Not only do they *look* incredibly cool, but each one sold keeps around 85 pounds of metal out of the landfill!

Promising review: "Literally the best customer service ever!! I absolutely love my box. It’s so unique and creative and perfect for my vinyl collection and stand. It’s my favorite piece of furniture. But really I cannot say enough great things about Jon and how much he cares about his products and customers. Thank you so much!! I highly recommend him and don’t think twice about purchasing from him." —moberg135

Get it from Impact Racks on Etsy for $399 (available in 27 styles so you can pick your favorite publication).

Get it from Vasili Lights on Etsy for $238.13.

Promising review: "This perfect little desk ornament for my office gets tons of laughs and compliments. Big fan, but the look in its eyes shows that it has more to be discovered. Will update when it finally reveals its secrets to me." —D Wuller

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six styles).

Get it from West Elm for $599+ (available in 25 colors/prints).

Promising review: "In the week or so I've had this thing it has brought me so much joy. I'm always so excited for my snail to vomit on my dish scrubber, or my hand. It's surprising how such a simple soap dispenser has changed my whole family's life for the better. This was once a house where dishes were a hated chore. Now, it's a blood bath to get anywhere near the legendary 🐌." —Zoe Scoville

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I did not buy this to actually use as a towel. To me it doesn’t seem like it would be good at serving this purpose as the material is not very absorbent, however it is great for decoration purposes. It is really, really adorable! I love how there’s little snap buttons to keep it in place. I highly recommend this as a decorative gift for the cat lover in your life or for yourself if you love kitties! Great purchase!" —Crystal

Get it from Amazon for $14.26+ (available in 28 designs).

Promising review: "Absolutely the best shower curtain purchase I've ever made. Too much fun!" —Z Czaya

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in six sizes).

Promising review: "My whole family loves it! It’s so unique and fun to display. It's a very special piece to own from one of my favorite artists, Salvador Dali. I wish it was a sturdier material (it’s plastic), but either way, it will be safely displayed and the quality looks so good you can’t tell it’s plastic until you touch it. I would love if they made a larger size, but this size is great too!" —Luz C

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in eight finishes).

Promising review: “This planter brings me so much joy every day! It is well crafted and beautifully packaged. I appreciate the extra touches like the fact it comes with a few extra mirrored tiles and that there are different ways to display it (it comes with a stand and nicely braided hanging rope). Every day my whole living room becomes a party. :) I cannot recommend this enough.” —Phil

Get it from Amazon for $27.97.

Promising review: "I bought two of these because I wanted accent chairs but didn’t have enough room in my small space. I didn’t think anyone would like them, but I’ve gotten so many compliments on them. They’re soft and sturdy and very easy to assemble." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $56.99+ (also available as an ottoman and in 42 colors).

I picked up one of these a while back (those are my photos above) and I am a v happy customer. While I'm not ready to shell out $15 a piece for the other switches in my apartment, just doing this one in my living room — where I have a gallery wall of prints in similar gold and brass frames — really made a difference! And should I come into any surprise money, I would definitely invest in more down the line.

Promising review: "These are absolutely beautiful! If I ever move, I'm taking them with me. You may think they're a little pricey, but they're REALLY heavy and far nicer than the stuff you find at the local hardware store. I bought the switch plate, outlet plates, and even a blank plate to cover an old electrical box left behind by DIRECTV." —Karebow

Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in seven finishes).

Promising review: "Love it — the rocks are BEAUTIFUL. Showed up on time and these are great book holders. I have them across my fireplace mantle and have had nothing but compliments. Highly recommended for the crystal quality and I’ll definitely be ordering more in other colors. Thanks." —Gage

Get them from Amazon for $28.99+ for two (available in six colors and four weights).

Promising review: "Super cool!! The candle makes me feel like being in the classroom of Professor Lupin learning how to cast a Patronus! Very cute decor!!" —Yvette
