And if you're looking for a great duvet to fill this cover, here's a hypoallergenic option that reviewers love!

Promising review: "I have been looking for a terracotta jersey knit duvet cover forever and took a chance with this one. The color is great, a dark terra-cotta/rust color. It’s soft, but if I had to be nit-picky it isn’t as soft as other jersey knit fabrics I have felt. Shipping was surprisingly fast and the size was perfect for my queen bed. Overall I am happy with my purchase." —Amazon Customer

Looking for a version of your favorite game? WS Game Company has a great selection of these brilliant "books!"

Promising review: "These have adorable vintage designs! Sturdy pieces. The board is ripping a bit but we’ve played this dozens of times with our toddler so I suppose that’s expected. Definitely more pricey than the cheap version you could get for $10 at any big store but honestly it’s worth it to me. It lasts so much longer and it's easier to store. Having it in our front room on the bookshelf makes it easily accessible and blends in with our other books." —Spooky Hobbit

Get it from Amazon for $39.95.

Promising review: "Very pleased with this book box! It fits in with the rest of my books beautifully. You wouldn’t know that it’s any different from the rest unless you picked it up and fiddled with it. The cover feels like a real book. The pages are kind of fake-looking, but you can’t see them while it’s parked in the bookcase. I ordered the small size, and it fits cash perfectly. I’ve come back and ordered the large as well. I feel so much better about camouflaging some of my valuables among my hundreds of books rather than say, in my underwear drawer or someplace else that isn’t as sneaky. I love it, and it is perfect for what I wanted it for." —Tina

Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum, which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "She's a work of art. I couldn't be happier with this mirror. I first saw it on someone's Instagram. It's too unique to pass up. It was pretty easy to assemble. It's very wide and spacious." —OhKristenJoy

Check out a TikTok of the rainbow wineglasses in action.

Promising review: "Love these! Wasn’t ready to splurge on Estelle-stemmed glasses, so I got these instead. I’ve run them through the dishwasher once so far, and they held up fine. Glass is thin near the top, which I love in a wineglass. I would recommend!" —Tricia

Promising review: "I need more than a 5-star option here!!! Just made my first smoothie and realized the ones I made before now were a joke compared to this; everything (including spinach) blended so perfectly, it is like sipping on tasty liquid velvet. I also have an Omega juicer which is great but also extremely time-consuming; nutrient absorption and overall used produce/ other ingredient content between the two methods is very different, and both are beneficial in their own ways, but this blender is a super-fast prep/combine/cleanup deal making it a way better option for getting fresh nutrients on the go. I thought it was surprisingly quiet and is only loud in the higher speeds, and smoothies will only be used very briefly (less than a minute) judging by what I made today which included frozen fruit. Daily life and habits will never be the same, and I’m sooooo happy I finally dropped the cash for this!!!" —Sarah W

Promising review: "This mirror is beautiful! I have already gotten many compliments on it. It looks great on my dresser!" —Patricia

I love having a collapsible hanger! I wear baggy, layered clothing that takes up a ton of closet space. The gif above is of my own hanger managing to hold/move a bunch of heavy winter pants with ease. If you're looking to save space in your closet, I highly recommend getting this + also recommend these velvet hangers!

Promising review: "I am very pleased with these hangers! I first bought one to try it with my boyfriend’s pants and I loved them so I had to buy another one. The material of the part where you place the pants prevents any type of clothing from sliding off. Saves a lot of space on my closet and was easy to install, took me less than two minutes. The hangers come with the tool necessary and an extra piece that holds the rods in case you lose one. Overall very happy with the results, will buy again if I need more!" —Lizette Lopez

Promising review: "I love the look it gives my bedroom (pictured above, right). It's soooo beautiful!" —Pamela

Promising review: "I was hesitant to get this one originally, I was not sure if it would be over-kill or too big. I am soooo glad I took the plunge and bought it. I work from home and sometimes I just need a little background noise. It was super easy to set up and re-linked everything from my original Echo. It was easy to link Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube Premium. Your Amazon Prime account is automatically linked. In the mornings I ask Alexa to start my day and she tells me the current weather, some history tidbit, the news, current traffic and weather forecast for the day. When playing Amazon Music you get an option to see the lyrics, which is great when your other half sings the words wrong, lol. I chose to purchase the wall bracket from a small business owner due to the flexibility it provided. I can move the Echo out away from the wall, turn it while cooking to see recipes, view it while working at my desk or just tuck it back tight to the wall when I want it out of the way. This bracket also allows full tilt options as well as changing from horizontal to vertical. I have full use of my Echo Show 15 and again so pleased that I purchased it. So far no glitches, fingers crossed." —S. M. Paulson

Promising review: "Works well. It's a very compact, lightweight projector and would work well for travel, camping trips, or to project movies outside for outdoor family movie nights. Happy with the quality for the price." —E G

Promising review: "It’s perfect. I want to buy 100 more for my fat kitty because it’s so bright and pretty. I would recommend this to cat owners. My cat loves it, it’s so bright and cute and it looks good in my room." —Ashley Obourke

Promising review: "I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. And the bed. And the cat." —J. B.

Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in nine sizes).

Promising review: "My lantern looked exactly as pictured and it’s nice because you have the option to hang it up. I recently have redesigned my room to be a French gothic bedroom and this just fits perfectly. The craftsmanship is very good for its price as well." —Bradley Anderson

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five designs).

Promising review: "This is a beautiful shower head, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The shower head has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a shower head?" —Sadda Reddy

Get it from Amazon for $21.49+ (available in five sizes and four finishes).

Promising review: "The quality is very nice and we are happy with this purchase. The lamp is a frosted white glass when off and then a warm yellow glow when it's turned on." —Tiffany CA

I own this! I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things. I've successfully grown plants from avocado pits and I'm currently using it to regrow green onions. I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great!

Promising review: "I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed! The bottom is nice and wide, and allows so much room for root growth. The glass is not real glass, it seems like it’s some type of high quality plastic. But it still looks very nice!" —Alysia

Promising review: "It's gorgeous!! This looks like a million $ over our walnut table. Seriously, pictures don't do justice. Buy it!" —T.W.

Get one from Amazon for $19.99.

Promising review: "I don't like night lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath and at night with the bathroom door open this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product." —LMK

Cheese is MY bar of chocolate.

Promising review: "Oh wow! I followed the directions and put that moist paper towel in with my cheese, on the bottom and put some unwrapped and cut Jarlsberg wedge in it. I left for vacation and two weeks later came back, and it was still fresh and moist and not moldy! Huzzah! I'm MIGHTY impressed with this simple gadget. I hate food waste and this is super helpful!" —Awesome Taste

Get it from Amazon for $11.54.

This set includes four dinner plates, four dessert plates, four artisan bowls, and four fruit bowls.

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS SET. Exactly what I pictured before buying. I bought this two months ago and there has been no issues. I’ve run these through the dishwasher 10+ times and there is no wear on them. Also, no issues with them scratching my granite counters. They feel hand crafted and I’ve already received tons of compliments. Would suggest!" —Carlie

Get it from Amazon for $65.58+ (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "I purchased this for my adult daughter’s birthday. As you probably know, they are hard to shop for. The look in her eyes when she opened the package said it all. She also said it was so beautiful that she might use it as bathroom decor. This is elegance in the soap world." —Jus Sheryl

Get them from Amazon for $21.95 (available in two styles).

Promising review: "Just got this cool new gadget! So sick of never having a clip for the million bags of chips I open daily. This sealer worked great. Heated up in, like, 40 seconds and sealed this chip bag in seconds, and now, I don't have to find a clip! I'm sure the chips will stay fresh much longer, too, since it's sealed like I just bought it! Would recommend!" —Stacy0814

Get it from Amazon for $11.69 (available in three colors).

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: "This super cute dispenser is so easy to use. When you pouring the 'mouth' will automatically open, which is super convenient. And it was super clean – there was no drip. The fun part is, by pressing the little 'eye' you can open the lid. The spout part is made with stainless steel, which made rinsing very easy. What a surprise. Highly recommend." —Zhuohang Zeng

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors or as a set of four).

Promising review: "I purchased this small palm leaf dish as I have been looking for a cute trinket dish for my nightstand to put my rings, hearing aids, and jewelry at night. This dish is exactly what I wanted! It feels very sturdy, looks as advertised in the photo, and is a great deal for the price. I would get the bigger dish if you are wanting to put more than just a few items in it as it is pretty small but I am very pleased with this purchase." —MM

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 10 styles).

Promising review: "My girlfriend always wanted to buy vinyl records, but we weren't able to because we don't have a vinyl player. I've decided to get this for her. She was so happy as soon as she opened it. It also has additional features other than playing vinyl records. It adds a modern feature by having Bluetooth connectivity so you can use it as a wireless bluetooth speaker. The wood finish is perfect for our living room even though I don't think it is real wood. I'm really happy with the sound this thing produces. It has stereo speakers which is very great since it can easily fill a medium-size room. Overall, I'm very glad I was able to find a good vinyl player for my money with some added features." —Viky

My current nonstop music sesh is Andrew Mcintosh: Little Jimmy. TYSM for asking. BTW, Record Racks is a small business owned by Jacob Wells and based in Round Rock, Texas.

Promising review: "I love these balloons! They were the perfect addition to my son's nursery! I added a flag banner to them and they look so cute in his room! They are lightweight and just took a small staple to hold on the wall. I would definitely recommend them!" —Kristine

Get them from Amazon for $21.98 (available in 27 colors).

Promising review: "This is a beautiful piece of furniture that I personally love looking at in our living room. I love it so much I thought that even if the cats didn't like it, it would still be great to have as a decorative piece. However, the cats (especially our smaller, young cat) love sitting on the top level and playing with the rope! Gorgeous design, as are all Mau products, and functional. I love this purchase for our cats and for us!" —Beth S.

Get it from Mau for $189 (available in three colors).

I highly recommend this eucalyptus and mint sanitizer if you're looking for a fresh scent.
