buzzfeed.com 2024/10/5

Ah, yes. Nobility has arrived.

1. A plush, double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set that'll make leaving bed nearly impossible! And since one side is faux fur and the other side is velvet, you'll be cozy no matter which one you choose.

Amazon

Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it's seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard thing thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this...do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft and the pompom fringe is adorable." —Sk

Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 34 colors).

2. Or a super-breathable Sijo eucalyptus bedding set so silky soft, you'll be nodding off to sleep in no time. Night sweats will be a relic of yesteryear, because everything in this set is made of a cooling thermal-regulating material. We love to see it.

Amazon

Pair with a Sijo duvet cover!

BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this set:

"Both the sheets and duvet cover are made of 100% eucalyptus lyocell/Tencel. The eucalyptus is naturally sourced and not treated with harmful dyes or chemicals. Also, they're built to last! I look forward to leaving these in my will to my various grandkids. These sheets are the most breathable sheets I've had in my life. I'm an incredibly hot sleeper, which is further aggravated by living in a NYC apartment building where the cast-iron radiators will really kick in during the middle of the night. When it comes to their level of smooth, it feels just as great running my hand over my flat sheet as slipping underneath it at night. I've had lots of soft sheets in my day, including the kind that feel like a T-shirt material that truly were very nice on my college dorm mattress. But nothing's compared to these. So really, these might've ruined other sheets for me."

Promising review: "This has changed my life. I get up in the morning and ask Alexa the news and the weather. Done! Then as I am cooking I ask Alexa to set a timer! Then as my hands are dirty I ask Alexa to add eggs and milk to the shopping list! I go to the store and the Alexa shopping list is on my phone. Life is so much easier!!!! I would feel lost without this convenience!!" —Jan Thomas

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).

4. A darling eucalyptus and lavender shower pouch for sinus and congestion relief that'll also make your bathroom look and feel like a rejuvenating spa. Each eucalyptus leaf was hand cut and then sprayed with eucalyptus essential oil.

Promising review: "I am using mine in the shower, and the first time I had it in there, it just made the shower feel so much better. I've been dealing with a cold/cough for a week or so and this helped clear me up a bit. Also, as someone who gets migraines when scents are too strong or artificial, this one did the exact opposite. It was soothing and helped me relax before bed." —KellyFBrown

These are made to order, so you get to customize them to the size you need!

Promising review: “My window’s shades were beginning to crack, rattle, and disintegrate. Just trying to move them was a disaster. It was obvious I needed new blinds for all my windows. Blinds that worked well and were easy to open and close. Oh and it would be nice if they were automated. Looking through Amazon, I came across these Graywind roll shades. Wow, a shade that would roll up and disappear. It wouldn’t just hang there on the side or rotate open and closed like my slotted old shades. And it had a remote plus local network interface and Alexa/Google voice control. Plus there are no batteries to change. So I ordered two rollup shades for my front windows. Absolutely fantastic. My wife loves these shades. We have ordered more for the rest of the windows in need. I even tried leaving the shades open and while I was on the road I commanded the shades closed with my iPhone. When I came home the shades were closed. Yep, it works remotely via internet anywhere in the world. This is a fantastic product and it works well.” —Chris

Get it from Amazon for $158.99+ (available in 18 colors).

7. Or, a set of plush velvet curtains — a must-have for anyone looking to add some light-dimming drama to their space. The perfect pop of color and texture!

Promising review: "I absolutely love these curtains; they are beautiful! We just moved into a new home that has a vintage vibe, so I wanted curtains to go with that. These were perfect. I loved them so much that I ended up buying them for a few different rooms in the house" —J&T D.

Get two panels from Amazon for $30.99 (available in three sizes and four colors).

9. A luxe towel warmer so you can always wrap yourself in warmth and comfort. I mean, a towel that feels like it just came out of the dryer? Right when you step out of the shower? Yes, please!

It heats up in just one minute and reaches the highest temperature in just six minutes. It *also* has up to 60 minutes of heating time.

Promising review: "Not only is this great for robes and towels (the dogs greatly appreciate it too after a bath) but blankets, socks, and jammies are awesome too. There’s even a holder inside the lid that allows you to place fragrance discs in for adding a lavender scent for bedtime. Definitely worth the investment for pampering yourself." —K. Evans

Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in six colors).

10. An Alexa-compatible iRobot Roomba that you can schedule to clean your floors so you don't have to. Its advanced sensors will help it learn to navigate your home so it can get under furniture and avoid falling down stairs. It also has multi-surface brushes to pick up dirt on carpet and hardwood floors. Clean smarter, not harder.

Promising review: "This is a great little vacuum. It cleans really well, and the battery goes for a couple of hours. It always docks itself easily when done and never misses a spot in my 1,100-square-foot condo. It will go over rugs easily and fits under everything with no problem. I have two Maine Coons, and it does a great job of cleaning up their hair and any litter tracking. The drawer needs to be emptied every couple of days, but it's not a big deal for me. I have tile floors and carpet in the bedrooms. It cleans both well. It even cleans the litter mat in from of the litter box. This was well worth the money." —Renee

Get it from Amazon for $299.99+ (available in two styles).

11. A modern, rechargeable electric wine opener because your kitchen deserves a boozy upgrade. No more twisting and twisting and hoping the cork doesn't snap in two.

Several reviewers who experience arthritis and other pain issues with their hands revealed that this thing comes in extra handy!

Promising review: "This bottle opener is so convenient. It looks great, works awesome, and has a long battery life. Not much else to say. We love this bottle opener. We can also leave it off the charger for a while with no problem using it days later." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $21.99.

12. A chic, high-pressure rainfall showerhead so you can close your eyes and pretend you got caught in a storm. A very cleansing storm.

Promising review: "I was able to install this item rather easily; my old head was harder to get off than this head was to install. The wrench that is provided is adequate along with the use of your hands; no other wrench is needed. I would just make sure you do not tighten very much. No pipe tape was needed with my installation. I love the adjustable arm, the flow of the water, and how relaxing it feels after a rough day to stand underneath and enjoy the water flow over your body." —ozatlarge

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three sizes and four finishes).

13. A set of pink and gold cooking utensils to help you get your Gordon Ramsay on with a little more flair. These stylish and durable pieces are made with nonstick silicone so cleanup is a breeze.

This set includes: a spoon, a turner, a spatula, tongs, a ladle, a whisk, and a matching holder.

Promising review: “They are true-to-color blush pink and gold. Matches my kitchen perfectly! I have used these almost every day for cooking and baking and they have held up awesome!! I was afraid of peeling but they haven't peeled and I have put them in the dishwasher several times. Would definitely recommend.” —Trudy Anne 

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors).

14. A contemporary-looking Bissell air purifier whose three-stage filtration system — which, of course, features a HEPA filter — is designed to capture 99.7% of particles to help remove dust, pet dander, pollen, and smoke from the air. This Energy Star-rated purifier is also quite quiet on its lowest of five speeds, so you don't have to worry about it ruining your reading time.

amazon.com

Promising review: “I live in a two-story, 1,700-square-foot house in the Lake Tahoe Basin, which is constantly inundated with smoke from wildfires in the summer. This air purifier is a game changer. It purges the smoke in my whole house in under an hour when I set the speed on five. The noise is not particularly uncomfortable even at that setting, but there are four other lower speeds plus Auto. I leave it set on Auto overnight and always wake up to clean air. There is a helpful air quality index meter that monitors the progress of the purifying action and lets you choose the best speed setting, or, set on Auto, the unit self-adjusts to the best speed. The meter is also accompanied by a color-coded light that gives you a rough idea of the air quality. This Bissell is indispensable for this area. I would definitely recommend it to my neighbors.” —KM 

Get it from Amazon for $267.98.

15. A pack of slim velvet hangers that'll take up less space in your closet, which means you'll be able to hang more in there. And you may spend less time fighting your clothes and more time buying new ones thanks to their swivel hooks.

Promising review: "These Amazon Basics hangers are sturdy and nice-looking. Their surface is non-slip, so you can hang pants or skirts on the bottom and place tops across the wide, narrow shoulders. They're quite slim and take up very little space in your closet. This is ideal for small apartments, hall coat closets, mobile homes, etc." —Sharon Beverly

Get 30 hangers from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in larger packs and in eight colors).

Promising reviews: “I was impressed that the bath sheet kept its plushness and size after washing.” —Jules

Get the pack of four from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 15 colors and in a variety of other set styles).

19. A smart Wi-Fi power strip with USB ports that's Alexa-enabled, allowing you to use voice commands to control anything you've got plugged in. Or, use the Kasa app to control connected devices from anywhere. You'll feel like a person in STEM whenever you use it!

Promising review: “I wanted a power strip with individually addressable outlets for my aquarium that could be controlled by voice (Alexa) and also by setting up a schedule. This Kasa power strip really fits the bill. Like most Kasa products it's very easy to set up via their app (I also have several Kasa smart lightbulbs). It was easy to link with the Alexa app and now I can control the aquarium light and filter via voice command; 'Alexa, feed the fish' starts a routine that turns off the pump for 10 minutes so that fish food doesn't get blasted all around the tank. Having the light controlled on a set schedule is helpful to prevent algae growth so I don't have to remember to turn the light off. The USB ports are a useful addition.” —J. Campbell 

Get it from Amazon for $22.99.

20. A chic, water-resistant bamboo bathroom mat like those used in fancy saunas. Reviewers have used this both in and outside of their shower for a slip-free experience since the bottom is padded with a rubber grip tape.

Promising review: "This watering can is so easy to use, and it holds a lot more water than you would think by the size. I also love the cap that comes on the end of the spout — a great way to avoid spills!! Appreciate the pretty mister that comes with it, too. Both look very nice on the shelf where I house my plants in front of a window." —MC Phillips

Get it from Amazon for $26.99.

24. An adjustable bamboo bathtub tray for a well-deserved self-care day. Prepare a glass of wine, light a candle, drop in a bath bomb, and get ready for a relaxing and rejuvenating bath.

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!" —SindiMcG

It's also machine-washable.

Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and loveseat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." —Brian/Liz

Get it from Amazon for $47.49+ (available in five sizes and 13 colors).

28. A fluffy faux fur area rug that'll just plain look really chic in whatever room you put it in (plus, it'll feel like you're walking on a cloud instead of your current, non-cloud-like floor situation).

Promising review: "Best rug EVER!! No seriously...it is so soft! Bought this one for our living room. We have a similar rug we purchased at Lowes for three times the price for our bedroom and my husband and I decided that we would buy this one again instead. We are actually ordering two more for the baby's room and our middle daughter's room. So many people have complimented this rug and asked us to send them the link!" —Ashley Bryan
