"It's for the aesthetic" —you adding a retro-style air fryer and little coasters shaped like vinyl records to your cart.
1. Kitsch's iconic claw clip, well-known for its delicate style and strong, sturdy clamp suitable for all hair types. Yes, it's more expensive than the cheaper sets you can get out there, but this is actually built to last and has specially rounded teeth to prevent hair damage.
Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned biz established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories.
Promising review:"Love that you can dress this up or down! It is my go-to accessory for working in preschool to put my hair up quickly. It is elegant and classic. It is amazingly durable, even in getting thrown in the bottom of my heavy work bag! I am amazed by this clip. I have coarse, medium thick hair, and it is a perfect size." — Niki
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
2. A dreamy dimmable candle-warmer lamp so you can waft your favorite candles throughout your space in the most aesthetically pleasing (and safe!) way possible.
Promising review:"I bought this on a whim, and I'm hooked. I love the timer and dimmer features. So far, the lamp works great. It doesn't put out a lot of heat and I love that you can adjust the light. This is now going to be my go-to gift." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $37.98 (available in 10 styles).
3. A set of vinyl coasters to give your coffee table a delightfully retro nostalgic touch *and* protect it from the perils of condensation.

4. A vintage-style lipstick designed to be a replica of the most popular lipsticks of old Hollywood, from the "Fairest Red - 1937" inspired by Snow White to the "Besame Red - 1920" as a tribute to flapper girls in the 1920s. These richly pigmented, hydrating lipsticks are cult faves for serving retro glamour designed with modern formulas for all-day wear.

Psst — you may have spotted these shades on Lily Collins in Emily in Paris!
Promising review: "I have been wearing this brand of lipstick since the '90s. I love the historic colors. The texture and shape of the lipstick allows me to do perfect lips! The formulation stays on well but doesn't chap my lips — even in hot weather! I would strongly recommend this lipstick for anyone who wants a luxurious red lip." — Not so Tech Savvy
Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in 10 shades).
5. A pair of dainty feathered velvet house slippers to make you feel like the main character of a black and white Hollywood film descending the stairs to your star-crossed lover in the dead of the night (when really you're just groping around in the dark for the Cheez-Its box).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Reviewers say that if you're in between sizes, you should size up!
Promising review: "I love these slippers so much! It took a little time to get the feathers to fluff up, but they did, and now it's great. The slippers are so warm and comfortable that I want to wear them all the time. The memory foam insole has been holding up well to daily wear, and these keep my toes toasty warm." — skm_pdx

Reviewers say to pay attention to the measurements, because it's smaller than they assumed!
Promising review: "Charming and elegant. This looks so expensive. I gave it to my mother for her birthday, and she was quite impressed. She uses it as a place to put her rings when she is doing things in the kitchen. It's the perfect size, and she was very impressed. I didn't want to tell her how inexpensive it was, but isn't that what you want in a gift? A big bang for your buck?" — NMW
Get it from Amazon for $9.69 (available in five colors).
7. A waterproof retro-style Bluetooth speaker designed like a mini radio so you can blast the songs as adorably as possible. Reviewers love how portable this little gizmo is, and how well the sound carries despite its size!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is a great little speaker at an awesome price. I charged it when I opened the package on arrival, and it's been playing all day with no problem. Great sound, and surprising how the sound carries; it's in the living room, and I'm in the kitchen, but it sounds like it's right next to me. Recommend this item for sure." — Cindy Treffer
Get it from Amazon for $17.89 (available in six styles).
8. A retro-style speaker with a whole circus of hidden talents — not only does this function as an old school, dial-controlled AM/FM radio, but it connects to devices via Bluetooth *and* AUX, and even serves as a wireless charging pad on the top. This beautiful gadget is the definition of "flex."
Amazon
Fuse Audio is a small business that specializes in retro-style radios and vinyl record players.
Promising review: "I'm very pleased with this purchase. It has a warm sound and, unlike some other brands, doesn't betray the retro vibe with digital volume or tuning controls. It works exactly like the old radios, but with the bonus of Bluetooth and wireless charging. I also love the details like the side speaker vents and the feel of the volume and tuning knobs. Everything about it speaks quality. The only thing about its appearance that tells me this isn't an an actual 1940s or 50s radio is its size, which is slightly smaller than the real McCoy." — Placeholder
Get it from Amazon for $89.99.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I recently bought this air fryer. It has a sleek design and cool color, adding a modern touch to my kitchen. Setting up was a breeze, and the user-friendly control panel makes it easy to adjust settings depending on what I am cooking. Efficient cooking, consistent results, and easy cleanup make it the perfect addition to my kitchen. Overall, a very solid choice!" — Xinkai Chen

Promising review:"Rug is stunning!! Our kitchen has accent colors of cobalt blue, and it's perfect (we got the blue medallion), really ties everything together. Great wide runner, true to size. This is NOT a fuzzy rug; more of a velvety fabric with the pattern printed onto it. Which is great for high traffic areas and easy cleaning. Highly recommend!" — E Hackman

I immediately put on the watch as soon as I opened it up; It fits comfortably and the band wasn't too small, which I was a little concerned about.

Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular size Torani syrup bottle it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about story a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi

Paper Peony Press is a Texas-based boutique publishing company that specializes in purpose-driven books.
Promising review:"I've tried several instructional books on hand lettering. This book is the best by far. I won't say the names of the other books but suffice it to say they are all at the top of the list when you search for hand lettering. It is the only book that gives practice for the base strokes and also discusses posture and how to hold the pen and at what angle to the paper. It is also a lovely book to work with; nice art work/illustrations. I recommend this book to other beginners out there!" — Karen Rorick
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
23. A sweet little bedside alarm clock worth buying not just for the ~aesthetic~, but to set an alarm that ISN'T your phone, so you aren't tempted to start your day getting sucked into a TikTok-Instagram-whatever we're calling Twitter this week black hole before you even get out of bed.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Small, cute, functional clock. It's simple and user-friendly. Great for travel or to use at home. It emits no ticking sound, perfect for those who need silence at night, and has a standard beep alarm. I've used it as a bedside alarm clock and have found it to be accurate. I've used it simply to display in the living room as well, because it looks great anywhere! It's only downside is there doesn't seem to be a light/glowing hands to determine the time in the dark if needed, which can be helpful if you're using it as a bedside alarm. Otherwise, it's a great clock." — Kinsey Maneval
Get it from Amazon for $20.49+ (available in three colors).
24. A retro-style smoothie maker that honestly has a lot of audacity being that cute AND that functional?? It blends in either a LITERAL MASON JAR or a plastic portable sports bottle you can pop right off and drink from. But don't you dare underestimate this cute little bean — it can crush ice and blend frozen fruit like nobody's business.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Wow. I have been through many high-end blenders that have broken or just didn't cut it. Well, I am so amazed at this blender. Perfect size for my smoothies and so easy to use. I love how you simply twist on the lid and turn it on. It blends so nicely and doesn't leave my protein powder on the sides like my old blenders do. It crushed ice and blends up to a perfect consistency. I've never written a review here before, but I am amazed at this!! Not to mention it's so cute on the counter!" – Casey
Get it from Amazon for $35.47+ (available in two colors).

Promising review:"We have had a few other appliances from Nostalgia and we've been very pleased with the brand, so when my wife was looking for a coffee maker and we saw this was Nostalgia brand, the purchase was a no brainer.

Each set comes with a rolling suitcase with telescoping handles and a matching briefcase.
Promising review: "If you're debating whether to get them, do it! They look far more high-end than the price you pay for them, and they're sturdier than I'd hoped. My daughter also has a set in another color, and she flew to and from Hawaii with them (and their covers) with success. I can't say enough good things about this set.

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"The color is perfect, and my first slices of toast were too. It's easy to adjust. I used the included guide with pictures to adjust the knob based on how dark I like my toast. It was exactly how I like it. My old toaster was basically giving me warm bread. Not this little baby. I'm so happy I found it and that I didn't wait to buy it." — Shytel
