I’m the impulsive buyer, it’s me. 🎶 After seeing this gooorgeous candle warmer online time and time again (and trying to ignore the urge to buy what I absolutely didn’t need)…I finally did it, and WOW, am I glad I did. This lamp looks even better in person, it warms all of my candles evenly, and after moving it to my desk, I figured out it can be used as the cutest mug warmer, too! It comes with two compatible 50-watt warming bulbs that melt candles from top to bottom. The dimming feature is also really convenient for both the brightness of the light and for how fast or slow you want your candle to melt! This would definitely be a 12/10 gift.”Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in clear and gold). Promising review: “The color of these books is actually more vivid and beautiful in person.

I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It’s beyond cute and really great quality. I’m always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don’t want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can’t get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!” —Abbey KlemGet it from Amazon for $16.95. Promising review: “Super cool looking. Husband installed quickly (we used better hardware, though). This product works better with hardback books that are about an inch and a half thick. If you have paperbacks you wanna hang, you’ll want to reinforce it, or your book could bend in ways that it should not bend. I’d buy this again. I like it so far.” —Amazon Customer Get a pair from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three colors).

I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space!” —tara savageGet the set of four jars from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in packs of two and three).Promising review: “I’m obsessed with this.

This duckie brings me pure joy!! 🥰” —Sena P. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a dog and a pear).Promising review: “Have older cats — 6 years to 12 years — who are slender to heavy. This was a great find. Wanted a cat tower with some color, but with levels the cats to lay and play on. This is perfect!! Easy to assemble —instructions are clear and easy to read. Each level is covered in a soft carpet texture, which is so nice. Then, there is the sisal they ALL like to scratch on!

They are larger than I expected but that works great for me.” —C.BrownGet a set of three from Amazon for $11.99. Promising review: “These work so well and are so versatile!

I love it and highly recommend!” —Sasha TS.Get them from Amazon for $12.50 (available in three styles).Promising review: “On days when everything seems like a dumpster fire, it brings me a little joy to glance down and see this cute little desktop item. The paper flames are cute but fairly tiny for notes, but they would do the trick if necessary. In these post-pandemic times, I use the side without the flame paper to hold some travel sanitizer bottles. I really like that the dumpster lids can open and close.” —jigglypuffGet it from Amazon for $13.04 (available in two other styles). Promising review: “The perfect size!

Great find, great price.” —Tyler CutroGet it from Amazon for $89.95+ (available in three colors).Promising review: “These hooks are functional and fun. There are five hooks for hanging your items.
