Promising review: "I saw this blanket on TikTok, and I have to say I absolutely love it. I washed it several times now, and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" —Amy Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three sizes and 19 styles). Read more about the effects of weighted blankets at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my wife a few weeks ago — she was very skeptical when she opened the box and took it out, but since then she has used it every night and she absolutely loves it! It does help her relax and sleep better." —MaxG Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in 12 weights/sizes and five colors). Big Blanket Co. is a small business that, obviously, creates HUUUUGE blankets. The blankets are made with four-way stretch, temperature-regulating fabric, and can fit in standard-sized washing machines. Promising review: "I took the leap and bought my first blanket!

Get it from Amazon for $179+ (available in three styles and eight colors) or Big Blanket Co for $111.30+ (originally 159+; available in 29 colors).

Promising reviews: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc. close by even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked, but it works, and I love it, so money well spent!" —Amber "Must have for couch potatoes. This thing is amazing. I would get so irritated because there is nowhere to put my cups while sitting on the couch, so I went looking for something like this. I didn't even know it existed, but figured I wasn't the first person with this (first-world) problem. It fits all sizes of glasses, even ones with handles. I keep the remote, and my eye drops in one slot. So happy I found it!" —Erin R. Deatrick Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine colors). 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 don’t 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 I’m very happy with it. It doesn’t come with the Apple adapter, but you can find it for cheap separately anyway. No complaints so far." —Dalia Get it from Amazon for $58.99+ (available in two styles). Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Abby Kass says about it: "I've been using a similar one for years, and I still swear by it. It's so much cheaper than buying microwave popcorn all the time, not to mention better for you. It's super easy to use and makes delicious popcorn in minutes. Plus, it's collapsible, so it won't take up a lot of room in your cabinet. You *can* use it as its own bowl, but it's usually pretty hot after coming out of the microwave, so I usually just transfer to another bowl so I don't have to wait for it to cool." Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! I am throwing out my old popcorn maker because there is no need for it anymore. I cannot believe how easy it was to make perfect popcorn and use the same bowl to eat it out of. I've already told all of my friends to buy this!" —Cindy Suy Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 20 colors). Check out a TikTok of the arc floor lamp in action. Brightech is a California-based small business that specializes in home lighting. Promising review: "I have gotten compliments on this light from someone in every single meeting I’ve been in the last few weeks. Provides very good reading light (and adjustable) and unusual, visually appealing style. Have sent the link to three colleagues who were also intrigued!" —Steve Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in two colors). Plus, these are machine-washable and come in so many colors that you don't have to sacrifice your home decor style for function! Promising review: "These curtains are awesome! They are simple and elegant. They are not heavy at all, and they hang nicely. They definitely block out all light. My home office desk is set up right next to a window, and I get chilly during the winter. These curtains have been a lifesaver by insulating the cold window from me. :-) And the price was great too!" —Nancy Sal Get it from Amazon for $25.92+ (available in nine sizes and 25 colors). Say hello to another BuzzFeed reader fave! Amazon shoppers love these curtain lights, too, because they've got nearly 79,000 5-⭐️ reviews! Promising reviews: "I’m so happy with these lights! It took a few minutes to get them unraveled, but using zip ties to hang them made it quick and easy. My house feels so cozy now, just in time for the long winter season." —G.S. "These are so stunning I may just leave them up all year! I bought three strands and would honestly buy more if I needed them. I tested the waterproofing, and they are definitely waterproof! I love all the different settings and the way they make my patio look... Both my mom and sister asked where I bought these lights, so YES, I would definitely refer these to others. You won’t be disappointed." —Brooklyn Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors). Promising review: "Installation was quick and easy; it's very, very slim to the wall profile-wise. The heat output is great, and it's quiet. It's heating approximately 1,000-sq.-ft. basement to comfortable levels. I was frozen down here; now I just set the fireplace on low, and it's 72 degrees. Plus, it looks awesome, and the remote is easy enough to use. I've had tons of compliments on it." —m.code Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in seven sizes). This can be great, especially if you're staring at the TV for hours on end. It has 15 color and 10 brightness levels, plus three fade modes. Promising reviews: "Don’t mess around with the other lights with complicated remotes and colors, just get a warm 6500 white, and plug it in. Easy. Some people say one strip across the back is fine...maybe if you have a small TV; if you have 55" or bigger get one that is long enough for at least three sides. This light is a serious game changer, reduces eye stress, makes the contrast and blacks appear better, and the wow factor when people see it. You don’t have to tell anyone it was only $10!! Again, don’t waste money on colors and another remote to clutter your room, spend it on length. And get this light!!" —kristian suson Get it from Amazon for $6.29+ (available in eight sizes). Promising review: "I really enjoyed this product! It was a lighthearted, yet practical take to emotional trauma. I love that it is specifically for on the spot triggers and crisis. Because life doesn't give a 'trigger warning,' this is a great way to break down how you feel and where the trigger is coming from. The selections were on-point with a hip touch, but also realistic and approachable. I do wish there was a space to make the date, but that is just me." —B.W. Promising review: "Bought these for a friend's birthday and you know when something is packaged so well you just KNOW that quality is going to transfer to the taste? THIS IS IT. The box is incredibly sturdy and there are so many options. The cocoa bombs are so big that they pack a chocolatey punch. Definitely going to get another pack to take with us to the mountains this winter!" —Japanda303 Promising review: "Every single tea in this selection is beautiful! I even loved the lemon and orange, and I do not like anything of an orange derivative because it always tastes artificial. This was absolutely lovely! The teas are very smooth and mellow, very flavor-forward. No overwhelming acidity or bitterness — even if you're like me and forget to take the tea bag out! It's a proper cup of tea for each varietal. It came well packaged in a lovely box that is very giftable. This was a value that well exceeded the price. I HIGHLY recommend this selection of teas! I am ordering more for birthdays and such. And especially more for me! Get this!" —Shonda C. These glasses are great for everyone, but especially for people who are bedridden. Promising review: "I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching but don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." —Michael Boyd Promising review: "Extremely pleased! Got the king size three weeks ago and from night one, it’s been exactly what I needed. Absolutely no more waking up with neck stiffness or neck pain. The very night before I received this pillow I had neck pains. I thought it would take some time to feel a difference, but it was instant! I’m buying the queen size for my son now. He has scoliosis. Let’s see if it helps." —M. George Get a set of two queen-sized pillows from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three sizes). And bonus! You can also get these matching pillowcases to complete the whole look. 😍 Promising review: "This feels incredible. I love the weight of this. I slept better last night than I have in a very long time. Sensory overload. :) I think this is one of my best Amazon finds yet. Highly recommend. You will not regret your purchase." —Ronnie Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in three sizes and 10 colors).

Olive & June is my favorite nail polish to use at home. You can read more about it in our full Olive & June nail polish review here. Promising review: "Bye-bye gel and time-consuming trips to the salon. I didn’t think I would love this so much! If you watch the videos, you really can give yourself the perfect manicure. And I swear this polish looks good for as long as gel, only it’s way easier to switch out and refresh when you’re ready. Just gave myself a perfect manicure in under 15 minutes. And with the dry drops, I am off and running. I’m officially obsessed!" —Kristie Get a mani box with six colors from Olive & June for $90. Royal Craft Wood is a family-owned small business that produces practical, durable, and aesthetically pleasing household pieces and decor. Promising review: "My husband works from home and does a LOT of work from the bathtub (lucky him!). This fits his mug of tea, cellphone, and laptop perfectly! I was worried because our tub is attached to the wall and there is not a lot of tub edge on the wall side, but this fits very securely. He even has room for a book on one side. There is a removable tray for you to lay your cell or a book in. It also looks very stylish." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.75+ (available in 11 styles/colors). Read more about how an Epsom salt soak or bath can help with stress and muscle relaxation at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Love this Warm Vanilla scent! Warming fragrance lingers even as it dissolves well in the bathtub. When I looked at the fragrance components, I was doubtful I would like it, but the combination does impart a warm vanilla scent." —Erma Get it from Amazon for $5.87 (also available in a popular ~Hawaiian bliss~ scent). This lavender bubble bath is great for adults, kids, those with sensitive skin, and more. Promising reviews: "This stuff makes me feel warm and cozy. One of my top five bubble bath brands." —Amy Porter "You only need a small amount of Deep Steep Lavender/Chamomile to create a luxurious bubble bath. The scent is relaxing, but not overwhelming. A bath product that I absolutely love and highly recommend." —Candi Welch Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in 19 scents). I came across these masks while writing this Korean skincare post and absolutely love them! Almost every night, before I finish off my routine with moisturizer, I choose which mask I want to use (you get *so* many options!), lay back for 20 minutes, and unwind. I'm unashamed to say I have, indeed, fallen asleep a number of times with the mask still on😬. They also leave your skin feeling sooo soft and hydrated! Promising review: "I am always impressed by Dermal's Korean masks. Putting on one of these masks is a little luxury for me. It has a pleasant but very subtle scent so it's not overpowering at all. I use these for a quick moisture fix or to help me relax after a stressful day. I also use them when I have migraines and lay down on my bed in the dark for 20 minutes. These masks provide cooling, soothing relief! The fruity ones smell best, and I think rose is also a favorite of mine. I will be a long-time customer of this product. As a college student/young adult, this is a great value product that helps me take care of my skin on a budget." —Melinda Get a 24-pack from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three quantities). Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video. However, I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use, and you make your at-home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you’re on the fence I’d say, what are you waiting for buy it already!" —Denise Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 16 colors). Mltd Candle Co. is a small business based in Frederick, Maryland. Promising review: "Burns well and a good size for the price! They smell amazing, too!" —Miranda Lucas Get it from Mltd Candle Co. on Etsy for $11+ (available in three sizes). 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 $19.99+ (available in 11 styles). No more just awkwardly holding your phone and hoping for the best. ‾\_(ツ)_/‾ Promising review: "For years, I saw my wife watch her Korean dramas and YouTube videos in bed, lying on her side with her phone or iPad propped on a pillow! This was not comfortable or easy to move around if interrupted. Got her this and we like it so much I bragged about it and purchased another one for a family member!" —Z Get it from Amazon for $17.89+ (available in black and white). Promising review: "My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The faux furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It’s honestly pretty sweet, and the dog gets her own to lie on when she’s outside too." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.43+ (available in six sizes and 10 colors). Promising reviews: "I bought three of these on a whim, one for me and two as Christmas gifts. I have never used a bed desk tray for my laptop... just my always moving lap and constant adjustment of my body. NO MORE! These tables are FANTASTIC! The two lucky recipients of the gifts are already planning to order them for friend's birthdays and holiday gifts. Me too!" —j.r.m. Get it from Amazon for $43.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors). The cover has 10 heat settings and an auto-off timer you can set between one and 12 hours. It's recommended for mattresses up to 15 inches deep. Promising review: "We live in Wisconsin where it gets very cold at night. We like to crack the bedroom windows open at night because we prefer a cold room to sleep in. But this makes getting in bed with freezing cold sheets brutal. Not anymore, this mattress pad is a game changer! Turning the mattress pad on before getting in bed makes all the difference in the world; no more freezing cold sheets. The dual controls are great since I like my side warmer than my husband does his side. The controls are easy to work and see in the dark. The mattress pad is soft and comfortable; you cannot feel the wires at all. It has nice deep pockets that fit on our mattress and memory foam pad very nicely. You will need two outlets to plug into in order for the separate controls to work. One year later…we still love this mattress pad!" —Linda Stranzl Get it from Amazon for $59.95+ (available in twin, full, queen, and king sizes). Promising reviews: "My pups love it. And we enjoy sleeping in it. I actually have two standard poodles, and all three of us sleep in it. Super soft, and the blanket is my pups' favorite. Padding is great. Use it in the living room as well as right on top of my queen mattress in my RV." —Cinda Sawyer "Since our little one turned two, she started climbing up the couch and jumping to the point we had to turn it around to face the wall! That left us with nowhere to sit and watch TV in our living area. Bought this to give us a spot on the floor where we could hang and watch TV and it is super comfy! My daughter loves it, and so do I!!!" —suzy Get it from Amazon for $119.95+ (available in 21 colors). Check out a TikTok of the sunset lamp in action. Promising review: "This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light, but it's not too bright — I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed, and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycle. Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" —amazon customer Get it from Amazon for $13.29+ (available in three styles). Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says about it: This is my go-to satin pillowcase. I have two Slip pillowcases, and several of these, and actually the Bedsure ones wash up much nicer and retain an incredibly silky smooth feel after dozens of trips through the laundry. They're the only ones I'll buy going forward, and I recommended them to my mom and now she's in love with them too! Promising reviews: "I bought these cases to match a new sheet set. I previously had bought much more expensive brands to match other sheets but I love the Bedsure brand of products and wanted to try these out. Arguably, they’re softer than my more expensive ones! They did arrive very wrinkled but a quick wash and dry and they’re shiny and wrinkle free. I like the envelope closure a lot more than competing brands zip closure. Highly recommend!" —Hannah Watkins Get a set of two from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in standard, queen, king, and body pillow sizes and 39 colors). Promising review: "This bedding set has everything you need to rest & relax — four pillowcases, one flat sheet, and one fitted sheet with super deep pockets that fit up to 16 inches for a super easy fit so you don't have to struggle to keep the corners secured! The sheets are super soft against your skin and the set will make you feel like you're laying in the lap of luxury. These sheets are built for year-round relaxation! They're moisture-resistant and designed to keep you warm in the winter and act as cooling sheets in the summer. Also, the sheets and pillowcases are totally machine washable to don't fade and keep their softness! I totally give these sheets a 5-star rating and urge you buy them in multiple colors. The price is unbeatable too!" —Regina_NY Get it from Amazon for $19.94+ (available in six sizes and nine colors). Promising review: "Best thing since sliced bread! I hate when my coffee gets cold. I was originally looking for one of those warming coasters, but then I saw the Ember mugs...there was no turning back. I can take my coffee with me into my boss's office and it still stays hot?? Yes, please. I used that app and have adjusted my temp down to 127 degrees. It stays at that temperature the entire time. I’ve not had an issue with battery life either, since it doesn’t take me more than an hour to polish off a cup of coffee. I HIGHLY recommend." —Debbie Get it from Amazon for $104.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors). Promising reviews: "So comfy for reading, love it for elevating my legs while sleeping even when I'm on my tummy. I feel so stretched and rested when I wake up. Great for circulation. Looks nice on the bed and in the room in spite of it's size. I really enjoy this thing. Would totally recommend!" —Mare Bear "This item was suggested by my mom’s back doctor. My mom suffers from survive osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. This pillow provides comfort and pain relief while she relaxes or sleeps in her bed. Good buy!" —Windward Get it from Amazon for $36.92+ (available in 13 sizes and styles). Promising review: "I've had this for almost a year and it's held up. I use it every night without fail. The projection spans my whole ceiling and the swirling colors and stars are so so fun and calming to look at. It's bright enough to see by, but not too bright that I can't fall asleep. Though, I've always liked it brighter in my room at night. It has a Bluetooth option as well!" —Sierra Get it from Amazon for $38.98+ (available in six styles).
