The 8 best patterned sheets of 2025, from dainty florals to modern geometrics

If there's one thing I hate, it's boring colors and designs. I grow tired of the same solid white, gray, and taupe, especially in bedding. While plain white sheets are classic, sometimes you want to make your bed a statement piece. To me, the best sheets have fun patterns and designs that bring me joy every time I crawl into bed and reflect my personal style. With solid, muted colors feeling like the norm when it comes to bedding, I was on a quest to find the best patterned sheets that would add dimension and character to my bedroom. Not only was I looking for a diverse selection of prints and patterns, but I also considered feel, fit, and quality. Our top picks combine style and comfort for cozy sheet sets that you can pair with colorful blankets and quilts for a look that's truly your own. The Company Store makes the best patterned sheets with a wide array of colorful prints, ranging from classic florals and stripes to adorable animals in crisp percale or soft sateen in its Company Cotton collection. For a third of the price, Target's Threshold Printed Performance Sheets are currently available in over 20 patterns for under $60; they're a great budget pick that is far from the scratchy or thin feel that can plague cheap bedding. Our top picks for best patterned sheets Best overall: The Company Store Patterned Sheets - See at The Company Store Best budget: Target Threshold Printed Performance Sheet Set - See at Target Best overall The Company Store Patterned Sheets The Company Store has a pattern for everyone, from checked plaids to pink flamingos. We loved the feel of both the percale and sateen sheets. Check price at The Company Store It's hard to find a set of sheets that blends a unique pattern with unparalleled comfort, but somehow, The Company Store has done it. Out of all the sheet sets I tested, I was most impressed with The Company Store and their balance of quality, style, and variety. We tested percale and sateen patterned sheets from The Company Store Company Cotton collection, and both sheets were excellent. The percale is made with a 200-thread count; the sateen is 300-thread count. Both are Oeko-Tex-certified and can fit mattresses up to 18 inches deep. The percale sheets were crisp and slept cool, while the sateen sheets were silky soft and smooth. They also fit on the bed well, with little shifting throughout the night, which is impressive, since I have a bad habit of thrashing in my sheets. I loved the percale sheets and was sad to switch them out at the end of my seven-night testing period. In terms of the designs, there are a few that stand out, including a special collaboration with Rifle Paper Co., featuring the stationery brand's iconic prints reimagined on bedding. I tested the Rifle Paper Co. Strawberry Fields Percale Set, and I was absolutely obsessed with how it looked. The flowers on the sheets are so colorful, with vibrant pops of red from the strawberries on the vines. Our senior home editor, Jaclyn Turner, tested the Peacock Sateen Sheets. It's a beautiful design of elegant peacocks, green leaves, and flowers on a cream, ivory, or evergreen background. Other highlights include Sunshine & Blooms Percale Sheet Set in Plaid Coral Orange with a lovely ruffle on the edge. The Company Store frequently has sitewide sales, but its special collaborations with Rifle Paper Co., for instance, are typically excluded from promotions. In addition to sets, each piece of bedding is sold individually. This makes it easy to replace individual pieces without buying the entire collection. Or, if you hate a top sheet, you can forgo it by purchasing the pieces of bedding individually. Many patterns have matching duvet covers, comforters, and shams, too, if you want a fully cohesive look. I'd also love to mix and match my sheets and duvets with different patterns. Best budget The Threshold Performance Sheet Set is the budget pick in our best sheets guide — and for good reason. For under $60, the sheets are soft and durable, holding up well to washing and drying. They're also available in more than 20 prints — the most common being floral designs and geometric prints — making them a no-brainer to be our favorite budget patterned sheets. The Tulip Toss print is super cute, with a mini-print of tiny pink tulips on a solid cream background. It's a subtle design that would look adorable in any bedroom. The Pink Plaid pattern is another standout, with simple double-lined plaid on a coral pink sheet. These printed sheets also come in Twin XL, making them an excellent choice for college students living in dorms. The patterns are easy to match with a solid-colored duvet cover or quilt, and you won't have to skimp on comfort in favor of affordability. Our tester did notice that the sheets have a slight smell out of their packaging, so we recommend washing before adding them to your bed. The sateen weave can trap oils. That said, the sheets don't pill or shrink after washing, so you won't have to worry about them deteriorating after your wash day. Just be sure to remove them from the dryer quickly since they're prone to wrinkling. Best floral Anthropologie's patterned sheets are the real deal. The Organic Cotton Sateen Printed Sheet Set stays on my bed when I'm not testing another set of sheets, which is the highest honor I can bestow upon any piece of bedding. The prints rotate seasonally, giving a limited-time element as new designs are released. Though where Anthro really shines is with its floral designs. The Nalini Cool pattern, which I tested, has an impressionist flair that reminds me of Monet's waterlilies; it's covered in white and purple flowers and greenery on a light blue background. I'm also a fan of the Plum sheet set, a beautiful, deep burgundy design covered in natural-looking wildflowers and branches. There are plenty of designs outside of florals, too, like mini-print bows and leopard print while the Looped Organic Percale Sheet Set has embroidery on the edges of the flat sheet and pillow for an elegant upgrade to a classic solid sheet set. Even though I usually spring for percale sheets, since I prefer that cool-to-the-touch feel, I tried something different, opting for the sateen printed sheets. I typically avoid sateen sheets out of overheating at night, but these Anthropologie sheets completely changed my perception of sateen. The sheets are ridiculously soft and cuddly, but they still stay cool throughout the night. If you're a percale lover, don't fret: there are plenty of designs available in Anthropologie's Percale Sheet Set. The sheets fit snugly on the bed, even after tossing and turning. The fitted sheet has tags that label the top and bottom for easy bed-making. The top sheet is a perfect length, too — it's not too long or short. Best trendy Urban Outfitters is your go-to bedding destination if you're the type to keep up with the latest trends. With every pattern you can think of (and a few you can't), Urban Outfitters' bedding selection keeps your bedroom looking fresh and inspired. It's easy to match each pattern to your aesthetic. Are you going for a frilly, coquette vibe? You might enjoy the Painted Bows Sheet Set, which features long, flowy bows on a simple background. Feeling more vintage Western to thrill your inner horse girl? The Vicki Collage Sheet Set features cute mini-prints of horses, cacti, and cowboy boots. I'm a lover of all things bright and maximalist, so I tried out the Mariana Tile Sheet Set. The tile-inspired design includes vibrant squares with flora, fauna, and cocktails. I'm also in love with the Frog Toile Sheet Set, which looks like a traditional toile design until you look closer to see a frog enjoying a glass of wine in front of a rustic cottage. Besides the cute prints, these sheets are affordable, too. Most sets are only $89 for a queen. They're not the softest sheets we've ever tried — they can feel a little scratchy at first — but they soften up after a few washes. The sheets are thin, so they're not the most durable option. I could easily see them succumbing to pet claws or being snagged on something in the wash. The thinness does mean that they're lightweight and breathable, though, so they're a good option for hot sleepers. Overall, Urban Outfitters is a great place to buy sheets with a unique pattern that won't necessarily last a lifetime. Best vintage-inspired When embracing the vintage look for your bedroom, you'll want to search for sheets with timeless designs like subdued florals, simple stripes, and polka dots. With an excellent range of classic patterns, Garnet Hill is our pick for best vintage-inspired patterned sheets. Garnet Hill sells patterned sheets in cotton, linen, and flannel. I tried both the cotton and linen sheets. I loved the Micro-Print Organic Cotton Percale Sheet Set: they were crisp and comfortable, everything a percale sheet should be. I got the Sage Ditsy Floral design, which features tiny burnt orange and yellow flowers with green accents. My favorite part of these sheets is the embroidery detail in the pillowcase and the top sheet. It's a simple design element, but it elevates the entire sheet set into something special and unique. I'm not a huge fan of linen sheets — they tend to be too loose for me and the fitted sheet comes off the bed — but it's rare to find linen sheets with patterns besides stripes and gingham. The Chelsea Garden Relaxed Linen Sheets stand out, with a light blue or green background adorned with realistic designs of flowers, birds, and fruit. While I didn't test the flannel sheets, I'm impressed with the pattern range. The Winterberry Flannel Sheet Set features designs of rambling vines topped with vibrant berries, which makes excellent bedding for winter and the holiday season. These sheets, especially the linen, are expensive. That said, I was impressed with their thick feel and durable design, so they'll last for years. Plus, you can buy bedding individually, so you can replace separate pillowcases or sheets without replacing the entire set. Best modern We've been a fan of Brooklinen's sateen and percale sheets for years, but they also offer their best-selling sheets in simple, geometric designs that bring a modern look to your bedroom. Brooklinen is always coming out with new patterns and designs, which is a double-edged sword. For one, there's always a new print to consider. At the same time, though, the new patterns are in high demand and sell out fast. You can sometimes find discontinued patterns at a discount, though sizing is usually limited. I tried both the Classic Percale Sheet Set and the Luxe Sateen Sheet Set. In percale, I got the now-discontinued open windowpane in meadow, which is a green-and-white plaid pattern on a tea-green background. The design is simple but elevated. In sateen, I tried the also discontinued Ikat sky and arctic blue, an abstract, icy blue design with navy accents. The most classic Brooklinen design is the Oyster print, a collection of swooping lines that form an abstract pattern. The Tandem Stripe pattern is also popular. As the name suggests, it's a simple design of dual lines that create stripes down the sheet. Brooklinen is currently collaborating with fabric designer Caroline Z. Hurley on modern floral patterns. Brooklinen's sheets are of the utmost quality. They're a little expensive, but they're a great investment that will last for years. Plus, with a 365-night trial, you can always return them if they don't work for you (which, candidly, is unlikely). Best flannel Especially in the fall and winter, there's nothing more cozy and inviting than a soft set of flannel sheets. Choosing patterned flannel sheets can add an extra festive flair to your bedroom, reminiscent of warm, fireplace-lit cabins and holiday mornings. is known for its flannel products, and the Ultrasoft Comfort Flannel Sheet Set is one of the best. We love its softness, and it takes the top spot in our best flannel sheets guide. It's available in three patterns: botanical floral and stripes or check print in neutral gray or blue. also sells other flannel sheet sets in different patterns. The Heritage Chamois Sheet Set, for example, comes in a classic lumberjack red and black plaid. We love these sheets: they're ridiculously comfortable and durable, without being too heavy. The sheets do shed lint after a while, which is common for flannel. That said, they are unmatched in cozy comfort. Softest When shopping for patterned sheets, you sometimes have to sacrifice softness. All the picks on our list are soft and comfortable, but the Cuddledown Patterned Sheets are the softest. Cuddledown's sateen sheets have a luxurious, almost velvety feel. I'm looking forward to using these sheets in the winter because I know they'll be a warm and cozy respite from the cold. The thick fabric also holds up well to care, with no pilling or torn threads evident after washing and drying. I tried the Meridian Sateen Sheet Set in honey, a lovely warm mustard yellow. The design is made of interlocking geometric circles that create a unique design. I also love the piping on the border of the sheet. It's a beautiful design element, but it also helps me differentiate the top and the bottom when making the bed. They slept a little hot for me, but I did test in the late spring and tend to overheat at night. Otherwise, the range of Signature Sateen Prints includes a variety of adorable mini-prints. The Dragonfly design comes in eight different colors, so you can easily match the color of the dragonfly with a duvet cover for a stylish, cohesive look. These sheets also include the piped border that I loved from the Meridian set. Cat and dog lovers can rejoice, with both Dog and Cat prints. As you shop on Cuddledown, keep in mind that not all sheets are sold as sets. You'll likely need to purchase a fitted sheet, top sheet, and pillowcases individually, but they are all listed in the product page. What to look for When shopping for patterned sheets, keep an eye out for the following: Comfort: Comfort means different things to different people. If you're a hot sleeper and need cool sheets, consider percale or linen. If you're looking for maximum coziness, sateen or flannel might be up your alley. Fit: When shopping for patterned sheets, pay attention to pocket depth and sheet dimensions. If you have a deeper mattress, you'll want fitted sheet pockets of at least 16 inches. For thinner mattresses, avoid long pocket depths, since that can cause your fitted sheet to bunch up on the bed. Print: Find a design that's appealing to you and your personal aesthetic. Here is a breakdown of common printed sheet patterns: Florals: Flowers, leaves, and branches, oh my! Floral patterns bring nature-inspired calmness to your bed. Stripes: Thin stripes look classic, while thicker stripes can be a standout design in your bedroom. Polka dots: Polka dots are the most fun, and you can easily pair these sheets with a solid duvet cover or quilt. Mini or micro prints: You can find mini-prints and micro-prints of just about anything, from flowers and seashells to animals or food. Animal: Animal prints, like zebra and leopard, are sexy and bold. Plaid: Plaid is versatile, adding a modern or ultra-cozy look to your basic set of sheets. Abstract and geometric: Abstract and geometric shapes are perfect if you gravitate toward a modern style. Value: Value doesn't only include the price, but look out for good return policies, trial period, and warranties. How we tested To test patterned sheets, I slept with each sheet set for at least seven nights. I also washed each set and noted any pilling, torn threads, or shrinkage. Comfort. During the seven-night period, I noted each sheet set's comfort, paying particular attention to aspects such as softness, breathability, and cooling. Fit. I toss and turn in my sleep, so I tested each fitted sheet to determine if it stayed put on the bed. I also considered whether the top sheet fit the dimensions of my bed and if it was prone to bunching up. Design. I chose sheet sets with a variety of designs for every personal style and aesthetic. I looked for fun, bold prints and subtle patterns. Value. I considered the price of every sheet set, plus the return, trial, and warranty policies.

The style of a reverse coloring book is great for traveling with when you don't want to have to have 100 different markers or pencils to keep track of.

Snag these and they'll help you tune out the mouth sounds of the overzealous snacker you're sitting beside when traveling this summer. Promising review: "These new Bose headphones are seriously impressive! The noise cancellation is like wearing your own little bubble of peace – whether you're in a noisy office or plane. And the battery life? It's insane! I've used them for hours without needing to charge, which is awesome for traveling. But let's keep it simple: the sound quality rocks. It's clear, it's crisp, and it's just plain awesome. Plus, they're super comfy to wear for long periods, which is a big plus! Overall, if you want headphones that make the world quieter and keep going forever, these headphones are totally worth it, 10/10." —Stephen GangemiGet them from Amazon for $229+ (originally $349; available in eight colors).

Buckle up. Molly Baz is the author of Cook This Book and More is More (which is on sale for Memorial Day). Promising review: "If you love a flavor explosion, these are it!! My 13-year-old started cooking himself grand breakfasts and lunches last summer. He's since become a condiment connoisseur. I told him about these mayo variations and he's been begging me to order them. When they arrived today we collectively rushed to the pantry to grab a box of seed crackers. We tried the dijon flavor first. I was worried it would be too pungent for him, but we're both surprised by how much we love it. The briny cornichons add the perfect kick. The dill was next; it was pleasantly herby, almost refreshing, the pickle flavor sealed it with a nice acidic bite. I was most excited to try the giardiniera flavored one. It was everything I dreamed of. We both love the heat from the chiles and the punchy pickled veggies. It was literally mouth watering. Molly Baz is a genius." —TaniaGet them from Amazon for $17.48 (originally $24.97). A Homesick candle for up to 27% off available in several different state-inspired scents.

A smocked crinkle gauze mini for 40% off that'll basically be the only outfit you need in your closet this summer. The 100% cotton gauze fabric is frilly, fun, *and* breathable.

Looking for outdoor furniture, summer swimwear, and inflatable ice cream floats? They've got you (and a whole lot more).Promising review: "This is a beautiful summer dress.

I also love that if I turn off the display before I go to sleep, after the alarm goes off the next morning, the display turns on again so I can see the time during the day. I also like that I can set the alarm to go off only on weekdays, only on weekends, or every day." —Diane MatsuwakaGet it from Amazon for $29.95+ (originally $45.44; available in three styles at various discounts). A Zwilling Coffee Grinder for 33% off for folks who have ~bean~ meaning to up their home barista game, this tool is sure to do the trick!

Sur La Table is offering up to 50% off during their Memorial Day sale. Promising review: "Beautiful design, looks great on my counter. I noticed a HUGE improvement in the flavor of my French press morning coffee the very first day I switched from a blade grinder to this one!" —Sur La Table CustomerGet it from Sur La Table for $99.96 (originally $150; available in two colors). A double nest hammock for up to 25% off suitable for one or two people. If your idea of a good hike ends in a comfortable nap at the top of a mountain, this is gonna be your special little treat at the top of the peak.

It was packaged nicely and shipped quickly! The quality is outstanding and the color is so beautiful! What a treat to come home to after working.

I've also found it to be dog friendly (I have to share because they love it too)." —PaulaGet it from Amazon for $63.71 (originally $84.95; available in 28 colors at various discounts).

This vegan and cruelty-free balm is infused with sunflower butter and Vitamin E. Sounds tasty*. *DON'T eat it. Promising review: "This is a holy grail lip balm. I was surprised by how deep the color was when I first tried this — it looks like lipstick! But you can apply this without a mirror. I swipe my bottom lip, then the middle of my top lip, and press my lips together, and my lips are comfortably smooth. The balm provides good moisture with a welcome, natural-looking pop of color on my lips. It's non-sticky, scent- and flavor-free, which I love. I have one on my nightsand and one in my handbag. It fits easily into a pocket. I've never before seen a lip balm that provided definitive but natural-looking lip color. A little color goes a long way, so I can see where these lip balms would last a while." —La Chat CeriseGet it from Amazon for $9 (originally $14; available in 23 colors). A quilted toiletry bag in a cozy blue floral pattern for 20% off (the best price it ever goes for) — despite being lightweight, this fits an absurd amount of stuff. So all you over-packers? Rejoice! Bring *everything!* Plus, it's so darn darling you may just wanna cuddle up with it the moment you make it to the hotel. Promising review: "This is an ideal toiletry bag. A lot of space inside and has a zipper on the top. It's not too soft to wear. It isn't durable once it's zippered and has a few things in it. It sits very nicely. It's good for travel. And seems like it will be very durable. Good price for this item." —MariaGet it from Amazon for $7.98 (originally $9.99). A pair of chunky sandals from Timberland for 30% off for folks who want a comfortable statement shoe this summer that their feet can breathe in. Pedicure season is upon us — show off those toes!

I have worn them ALL over London and Barcelona. I've walked over 10 miles per day in them with NO issues. These are 1000% the best sandals that I've ever owned!!" —AnonymousGet them from Timberland for $74.99 (originally $110; available in sizes 7–11 and four colors). A pair of water shoes for 26% off, which is the best price they go for, for outdoorsy folks who love the *idea* of digging their toes into the sand, but prefer to keep their feet pain-free when mucking around in an ocean or lake. Promising review: "Took these on a cruise, as I just needed something comfortable to wear on the beach. Our excursion was cancelled and we ended up doing a hike through the jungle in Belize. I wore these for four hours hiking and they were actually really comfortable. I never imagined that's what I'd use them for. Highly recommend. They're not some orthopedic shoes by any stretch, if you have foot problems I'm not suggesting these will be great for you. Just pointing out I was surprised my feet didn't hurt at all after hiking in them. I ended up wearing them to explore Mayan ruins the next day and they were just as comfortable climbing around then. Decent quality and just good for outdoors in general" —ShastaGet them from Amazon for $5.94 (originally $7.99; available in women's sizes 3–14 and in 41 styles). A set of three oversized corduroy pillow covers for up to 28% off (plus another 15% off when you clip the coupon available for some sizes) that'll help solve the "we have too many decorative pillows on the bed" problem your partner complains about.

These spiffy snacks taste super sweet, but they're pretty low in sugar at 3g each. P.S. their gluten free version is 20% off!Promising review: "These are delicious, every bit as good as the stroopwafels I've had before. What is really amazing is as low sugar as these are, they actually taste sweet." —Lone Star PenguinGet them from Amazon for $12.99 (originally $26.95). A puzzle board for 35% off (another best price so far) that'll help solve the puzzling issue of what to do when you're only partway through a big project. This has a turning feature and includes several storage spaces that'll hold pieces yet to be placed. Promising review: "This may be the best thing I've ever bought on Amazon and I've been shopping at Amazon since 1997! I have always wanted a puzzle board but couldn't justify the prices of the ones I've seen. I ordered this one during Prime Days and I don't regret it! This puzzle board is well-made, roomy, and super easy to put together. Just add the easy-to-screw-in knobs and adhesive stickers for the lazy Susan. I had it unpacked and ready in seven minutes. It also comes with a thin cover that will keep my cats from tearing up my puzzles in progress. This board could also be used for other crafts so it will get lots of use in my house!" —Keve BGet it from Amazon for $35.90 (originally $54.99).

They're cute and durable." —Chloe it from for $13.99 (originally $19.95). A flowy tiered skort for up to 34% off (hello again, best price it's ever been) that is adored by reviewers because it moves just like a skirt, but has lightweight shorts underneath that are just as flowy. If your legs rub together uncomfortably in the summer *and* you want to celebrate short skirt season, here's your new necessity. Promising review: "I'm in love with these. I have to stop myself from getting all the colors 🤣. They look really cute with my dressy shirts, lace tops, and sweaters. They look cute with both heels and flats." —Anna SelivanovaGet it from Amazon for $22.09+ (originally $35.99; available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 18 colors at various discounts).

I don't think you can go wrong with this guy, but I do suddenly experience guilt when eating just me!" —BryanGet it from Amazon for $19.99 (typically $25.11; available in several styles).

38 Budget-Friendly Alternatives To Skims, The Row, RH, And Other Top Brands

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Save yourself $3,000+ and grab yourself a Cartier lookalike ring from Amazon for $10, mmkay? 1. A baroque-inspired mirror — with a gorg gilded frame — if you've long dreamt of owning ***that*** Anthropologie mirror but don't want to take out a second mortgage on your home in order to do so. Promising review: "I hopped on the gold ornate mirror trend and spent a long time trying to find one within my budget. I was worried at first because there weren't any reviews when I first bought this. It looked amazing online and was the perfect size so I went ahead and got it. I am THRILLED with this purchase!!! One of the best things I've gotten from Amazon. It's beautiful and exactly how it looks in the pics. It came four-ish days faster than estimated. It's perfect for my makeup desk. If there were different sizes of the same mirror I would buy all of them." — McKinlee Mayer Get it from Amazon for $91.99+ (available in six sizes and five finishes) 2. A tinted lip balm reviewers confirm is just as good as Clinique's $25 " Black Honey" — but you get two for just $10! You can stow one away for later use or even bless a friend with your bounty. Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say: "I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!" Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim but never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can't be beat, so I'm buying more." — HAC Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in the pink honey version, and in a two-pack that mixes both!). 3. A floral cottagecore mat that — for the first week, at least — will have you staring down at the floor in awe. Reviews compare it to Rifle Paper Co. options, but note that the price is way more palatable! Amazon Promising review: "I love Rifle Paper Co. rugs, but they're really expensive and not super thick or anything. I mostly love their designs. I saw this rug, and it didn't have a lot of reviews, but I took a chance and am so glad I did! I bought the runner and then the door size, both for my kitchen. I love the design of this rug and the colors! I personally would prefer a straight edge but it's fine. I washed the runner in the laundry with no issues. It's easy to vacuum and doesn't get sucked up constantly. It's soft and thin, but that's fine for the price. I love them, and I hope they make more designs!" — Sydney Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 12 sizes and three colors). 4. A luxe, monkey print two-piece pajama set reviewers compare to the $128 Roller Rabbit version! 👀 That means you can comfortably afford to get it in several colors! Promising review: " So cute and comfy. I was surprised at the excellent quality. The weight is just perfect from spring until fall. I'm naturally normally cold all of the time and it's been chilly in Texas the last couple of weeks and these are fine. So comfortable, I feel like I sleep better." — H Mclemurry Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL and 34 patterns). 5. Elizavecca's Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment — it works just like a hair mask to repair your locks in five minutes flat. The ceramide 3- and collagen-packed formula repairs all types of hair, whether you've got over-processed tresses or 4c hair that's susceptible to dryness. Reviewers even say the $8 product is comparable to Olaplex No. 3! Promising reviews:"I bought this based on a review in a BuzzFeed article. I have long, thick, curly hair and use this maybe once a week. I get a ton of compliments every time, and I absolutely love the way my hair feels afterward. So amazingly soft. I use it in the shower, and usually wash my hair and then towel dry it. I put a small amount in my hair, mostly on the roots. Let it sit while I shave my legs, and then rinse it out and comb through with a wide-tooth comb. I allow my hair to air dry, and bam, amazing hair. This will forever be part of my hair routine now." — m. damocles " THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. Super easy to apply. I have fine, curly hair, and it leaves my hair glossy and soft without weighing it down. Works better than any Moroccan Oil, L'Oréal, or Briogeo product I've used and is wayyyyy cheaper. Gifted a bottle to a friend with very thick, curly hair, and they said it works amazing on them, too. Just do it once a week and you're set!" — Mid-west Get it from Amazon for $7.90. 6. Some Old Navy jelly ballet flats that'll run you just $20 a pop, but passersby may just mistake them for The Row's $1,500 pair. Promising review: "Okay, these flats are honestly so comfortable and feel super high-quality!!! I was looking for an alternative to The Row and these totally exceeded my expectations!!!!! Definitely recommend. I am a size 9, and ordered a 9. They do seem to run about a half size large, but I think because the jelly material will not stretch, it is better to have them be too loose than too tight! I would say if you are between sizes, order two pairs and keep the size that you feel is more comfortable." — anonymous Get them from Old Navy for $19.99 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and in four colors). 7. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation — a worthy alternative to Dior's (discontinued 🪦) Airflash. This two-piece airbrush foundation and kabuki brush delivers a lightweight, buildable, flawless finish. Reviewers say a little goes a long way, too, so you don't have to worry about the spray-on formula going too fast. Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products. And here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say: "HELLO — I found this through a recommendation on a Reddit beauty forum for people in their 30s, and I am OBSESSED. I am not very skilled with makeup and was intimidated by the brush factor, but it's nearly foolproof. This foundation straight-up glosses over my pores and redness and makes my skin look so even-toned and natural that it doesn't look like I used much foundation at all. It's a bit price-y compared to brands I used in the past, but I'm still on my first bottle of it, and it's been three full months. I hope this never stops getting made. It is so lightweight and lovely and has made my makeup routine feel like a TREAT." Promising review: "Bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. I love the lightweight feel of it and how easy it is to build." — Smickens Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 12 shades). 8. A stretchy bodycon pencil dress that'll basically feel like a second skin. Some reviewers say they were considering splurging on the Skims version until they tried this and loved it just as much! Reviewers agree that if you want it fitted, size down. Promising reviews: "I saw this girl wearing this exact style of dress with a Skims tag on the back, and honestly, it made me so grateful that I purchased this dress instead. It looks exactly like the Skims version, and I could be biased, but the material of this dress looked better than the Skims one. If you want it to be a little snug, I would definitely recommend sizing down one size from your normal size. So freaking comfortable and made out of thick material." — Kaitlyn " I have the Skims dress in black and wanted to look for a cheaper version, but read reviews and some said that it is a bit looser than expected. I would agree that the small is a bit loose. If you want a snatched look definitely get a size smaller as it is very stretchy. I'm 5' tall so this is a bit long on me, even when I wear heels. In comparison to the Skims, the material is smoother while Skims has a ribbed texture. You honestly can't tell the difference. Good bang for your buck if you ask me!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and seven colors). 9. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings if you want the luxe look of Bottega Veneta but don't want to drop the equivalent of a month's rent on them — especially with how often you misplace things. Promising review:"These are AMAZING! I highly recommend them. They look so luxurious and expensive. I've gotten a lot of compliments on them already. 10/10!" — Hayley Ghormley Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 finishes, two-packs, and an XL size). 10. L'Oreal True Match Lumi Glotion — it delivers a sun-kissed, natural glow comparable to Drunk Elephant's bronzing drops *and* you don't even have to spend any time in the sun to achieve it. Promising reviews: "I used this with my Olay Regenerist Cream (it helps with my wrinkles). I mixed it, and it does a great deal of shine! You should buy it if you're looking for a Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops substitute! Way better than Drunk Elephant." — raegan kuball "I actually like this glowy lotion better than the drunk Elephant one, and I have both. This goes on smoothly and is not greasy. It leaves you very glowy with a beautiful tan and works well with makeup on top if you so wish. Lasting power, too. Recommend." — ggvega Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in five shades and as a two-pack). 11. A three-seat sofa that not only looks like a million bucks (and maybe a bit like RH's Cloud Couch 👀 ) but scores high on the practicality scale, too, with removable cushion covers you can toss in the wash. Oh, and I did I mention it comes in well under $2,000?? Linsy Home I've had this couch for about six months now, and I love it! In fact, I'm sitting on it as I type this rn. 😊 I don't have kids, but I do have two cats who love to shed and make a mess, so I was worried about the white color. Alas, it's been smooth sailing with the aid of a ChomChom roller andddd the cushion covers are removable and machine washable if anything super messy happens. 🙏 As I live in a walk-up apartment, I appreciate that it shipped in a handful of boxes rather than as one piece, so it was easy to get in and assemble. Most importantly, perhaps, it's also super comfy!! For the price, it's definitely a win. Get it from Linsey Home for $1,549.99+ (originally $2,179.99+; available with or without storage and in two colors). 12. Or if you already have a perfectly good sofa, a linen cover if your heart aches for the Cloud Couch but your bank account says it's not worth the overdraft fee. This ~$100 godsend will give you the Coastal Grandmother look you so desire. The Linen Valley is a small, family-run, Lithuania–based biz from Raimonda Mor. They source sustainable linen from local manufacturers and create beautiful collections for your bedroom, bathroom, and dining room! Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Exactly what I was looking for! The quality is amazing. I will absolutely be buying more!!!" — Jennifer Get it from The Linen Valley on Etsy for $133.04+ (originally $140.95+; available in 5 sizes and 12 colors). 13. A trendy tote bag that looks quite a bit like Longchamp's much, much more expensive Le Pliage. For the price of one of those suckers, you could buy six of these! Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag!! I needed something to use when I'm traveling, especially for when I go to trade shows and meetings. I've always lugged my backpack everywhere and finally got fed up with it on a trip this past week. I also wanted something that was classy looking and had a full zipper. I love the material because it's easy to clean. It looks almost exactly like the Longchamp bag, too, which is the main reason why I got it. I've actually been using it daily by putting my small purse in it and am able to put other things in it as well (small jacket, water bottle, small reusable bag, etc.) It has two inner pockets near the top of the bag. One is zipped, and one isn't. It stays on my shoulder and doesn't slip off, unlike other bags I've had. I'm curious to see how well it holds and for how long, but so far, I'm very impressed and very happy with the quality!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors). 14. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers say are comparable to Lululemon Align Joggers — but for less than 30 bucks, so you can girl math two more Pilates classes into your weekly budget! Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" — Courtney Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 22 colors). 15. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash so you can still take a moment to treat yourself even if you don't have time for an everything shower. Reviewers say the white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber scent lasts on their skin all day and even delightfully lingers in their bathroom. BuzzFeeder Emma Lord is a fan! Here's what she has to say: "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry." Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 16. Some E.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray that gets the job done just as well as Milk Makeup's $38 Hydro Grip. With your $28 savings, you can even pick up a new skin tint, blush, or eyebrow pencil to keep it company in your makeup bag. Promising review: "I use this not just to set my makeup but also to dampen my makeup sponge. I think it has made a huge difference in how my makeup looks and how much smoother it applies. It is just as good, if not better (feels less sticky), than the similar more expensive Milk Makeup one." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $10. 17. A Simple Modern tumbler if you're looking for an option that will keep your drink cold for more than 10 hours straight and, tbh, you don't really care about the name brand. 🤷‍♀️ It also comes in a bunch of pretty pastels and checkerboard prints, sooo it's really a no-brainer. Many reviewers said they find themselves drinking more water when they have a straw, and the fact that it's so dang cute doesn't hurt either! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, "I finally decided to hop on board the hype train for these big tumblers and am already obsessed with my Simple Modern one! I opted for the mint green color and it's as pretty as I'd hoped in person. The fact that this has both a straw and a handle means I end up carrying it around with me and drinking WAY more water than I did before. BTW! I highly recommend getting straw covers to protect against dust and germs — as pictured above, I got cute cloud ones (like these), and they work perfectly!" Promising review: "If you have been wanting a Stanley cup, believe me, save yourself some money and get this cup! You will end up with a better cup than the Stanley! I have dropped/tipped over this cup a couple of times and only a couple of drops of water come out. If I did that to my Stanley, water got everywhere! And this cup keeps the water so cold. And if you purchase silicone straw toppers, it keeps the water even colder! Also, it fits in my car cup holder, and my Stanley really didn't. Love this cup!" — Amazon Customer 18. Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip — a TikTok-approved Dior alternative that delivers the perfect pout for under 10 bucks! It can be worn alone for a subtle look or layered over other lip products for a full glam moment. Promising review: "I have Fenty Cherry Treat, a lip oil from Dior, and several other brands that were $20 or more…and the Nyx Fat Oil is better! Same consistency as the others, but a little more color, which is a good thing. About as long-lasting as any other thick lipgloss. It's always awesome to find a less expensive [option] for the high-end products I like." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in 14 shades). 19. LivaClean Superstar pimple patches if you love the look of Starface patches, but can't stomach throwing even more money at your acne. Paying for clear skin is just the worst, isn't it?? LivaClean is a small biz! Promising review: "I LOVE the look of pimple patches on myself (as weird as that sounds) and absolutely hate the semi-clear ones, since they just draw my eyes to something that's SUPPOSED to be invisible. So I easily fell in love with the Starface pimple patches — but the issue with those is they're SO expensive and don't work at all. THESE, however, have immediately sucked everything out of my face. I love them and literally wear them all the time. So many people have complimented me, saying, 'Oh my gosh, I love how you just wear stickers on your face; it's adorable.' These also work as [an alternative to] the TikTok Shop ones that are really popular right now and are cheaper! 10/10 from me :)" — evalyn evoke Get a pack of 240 patches from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven designs/shapes as well as multipacks). 20. Some afforable Eos Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion that TikTokers are tripping over themselves to get as they swear it moisturizes and smells as good as much more expensive options from brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. Promising reviews: "I first saw this lotion on TikTok; an influencer was bragging about it! Let me tell you, she did not lie. This lotion is the BEST. It smells fantastic. A cross between cotton candy and vanilla, it's just so fresh. It makes my skin smooth all day. This large bottle will last me a couple of months. Thank you, Eos, for such a fantastic lotion. 💙" — Erin " Very similar to my Burberry fragrance, and they layer beautifully. I always get tons of compliments on the scent. I also purchase the jasmine and berry for a more fruity option but to me it just smells like regular lotion. Cost per use is well worth it considering how thick the lotion is. It also actually moisturizes while leaving a fragrance behind instead of drying my skin out due to the perfume. I have sensitive skin and have had no adverse reactions." — Violet Frahm Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in various scents and two-packs). 21. A tube of E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter — a $14 alternative to Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter — with a hyaluronic acid- and squalane-infused formula that beautifully blurs pores and leaves you dewy and radiant. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid and squalene for a boost of hydration! Promising reviews: "This stuff is so legit I've gone through three bottles. Adds the perfect glow to your skin! Sometimes I use it under foundation and sometimes I use it solo with a bit of concealer. I will never not repurchase it for the price and how beautifully it sits on the skin. This stuff is viral for a reason!!" — mapagill "If you like Charlotte Tilbury's Flawless Filter, this is leaps and bounds better! Just buy it. The coverage is better, [it] makes my skin have the most amazing natural glow! The colors run with a more warm/yellow undertone which worked great for me! Spend a fraction of the price and just get it, you will be happy you did!" — Amazonreview Get it from Amazon for $14 (available in 12 shades). 22. A faux-leather bag that can straight up pass for Polène's Cyme. Despite its low price point, reviewers say the quality and detail — from the stitching to the hardware — is there. 👏 Promising review: "I bought this bag looking for something similar to 'that one brand' that was affordable. This bag is absolutely gorgeous and looks identical. When I opened the box, it smelt a bit weird, but I took a leather cleaner/conditioner to the bag with a microfiber cloth, and it no longer smelt, and she looked nice and shiny. It took me a while to figure out how to organize my things as it is a unique shape, but once it was organized, I loved it." — lisa keegan Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in nine colors and two sizes). 23. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks for just $10 (!!) if you've been hesitant to drop $$$ on a singular Laneige lip mask. For reference, the Laneige lip mask contains 20 grams of product, while each of these measures 5 grams, or 15 grams for the entire set. So even with product sizes taken into account, these are a much better deal! Promising review: "It's been four months since ordering this, and it's now part of my nightly routine. I can't go to bed before putting this on. I highly recommend this! And it's worth it to get the three-pack. The flavors are not overly sweet, and I think my favorite is the berry. I like it more than the Laneige night lip mask. For me, Laneige absorbs pretty quickly, and in the morning, I feel like my lips are dry again. With these, my still lips feel moisturized in the morning. It has a thicker consistency. I used to get dry/peeling lips pretty often as I'm outdoors/in the ocean a lot. However, since incorporating this into my routine, I haven't had peeling lips in a long time. Loooove these!" — Angela Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in four combos). 24. A popular checkerboard throw blanket that's garnered comparisons to Barefoot Dreams' much more expensive option. Since you're saving so much, you might as well buy one for your couch, one for your bed, one for your guest bed... Promising review: "This blanket beats others because it is softer (a buttery and fluffy feeling), it is long enough for a 5'10" tall person, it is not too light and not too heavy (works year-round in Virginia), and it has a stretch to the material that I haven't experienced with other soft blankets. The design is just so-so, but the colors are nice, and the price is right. If they updated the designs with more colors, patterns, then these would be absolutely perfect. I like this as much as my much more expensive Barefoot Dreams blanket and Williams Sonoma faux-fur blanket." — JH Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in six colors and three sizes). 25. A sunrise alarm clock reviewers say is super comparable to Hatch's as it offers seven nature sounds and slowly wakes you up over the course of 30 minutes by mimicking a sunrise. It comes with seven nature-inspired wakeup sounds, plus an FM/AM radio. And there are eight colorful nightlight options as well! Promising review: "I really needed another reliable alarm in the morning besides my cell phone (because I'm notorious for hitting snooze), and this clock is exactly what I was looking for! I love that it slowly brightens as it gets closer to your alarm time because I feel less startled when my alarm goes off. This is super similar to the famous Hatch alarm clock and at a much cheaper price. Would definitely purchase again and again! Saves my morning" — Skylar Faul Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 26. A CZ tennis bracelet that — according to reviewers — can pass for real-deal diamonds, especially when incorporated in a sparkly stack. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a big fan of this brand! Here is what she has to say about their pieces: " For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my 'daily wear' jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it. Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's lin e of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets!" Promising reviews: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters "I just lost my very real gold tennis bracelet. I've heard good things about this company and decided to order one that looked like the one I lost. It just came in, and it looks as nice as my real one. I don't know how it will do as time goes, but for $19, it's a great buy." — Alina Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three lengths, 14-karat gold-plated or 18-karat gold vermeil, in yellow, rose, or white gold, and in packs of two). 27. A cherry bag charm if you're currently 'Jane Birkinifying' all of your bags — aka accessorizing your accessories — and fell in love with a particular $95 charm that's taken TikTok by storm. You can see a similar one on TikTok! Promising review: "I was really debating buying the $95 one but figured I spent enough on the bag, so I decided to just get a replica for the cherry. I'm so glad I did! It looks almost exactly like it except for the slight change in hardware color. The quality seems great, and it looks sturdy. I love it! It really gives the bag an extra nice touch." — Oriana Pineda Get it from Amazon for $12.98. 28. A beaded shoulder bag you'll immediately treat as well as your firstborn child so it stays in the best condition imaginable. It's v similar to options from Staud if you love the look but simply can't afford the brand! Promising review: "Obsessed with this purse! And a reasonably priced option for such a popular bag trend right now. Good size to fit essentials like phone/wallet." — Jacscott15 Get it from Anthropologie for $98 (available in nine styles). 29. And a sophisticated laptop tote bag that looks a whole lot like one from Beis but for a fraction of the price. 👀 It'll fit your laptop, your wallet, your snackies, and more, so you don't have to schlep several bags to the office. Promising review: " This bag looks just like the Beis one — definitely a great alternative! It fits my 16-inch laptop perfectly and has plenty of room for all my other essentials. The size is ideal, and it has a sleek, elegant, and professional look. I love how functional and stylish it is. It's also waterproof, which is a huge plus. Overall, it's a great value for the price!" — berenice urena Get it from Amazon for $32.89 (available in 10 styles). 30. An Amazon Basics 6-quart Dutch oven people compare to budget-busting versions from Le Creuset, Staub, and Lodge. Cutting costs here means you can invest more in ingredients! Promising review:" Le Creuset? Don't know her. I have always wanted one of these enamel-covered cast iron beauties, but even from the outlet stores, they were expensive. I saw this guy after finding a stew recipe that went from stove to oven, and I got it. I am DELIGHTED with this purchase! I've cooked in it several times, including a chili recipe tonight that had to reduce by half. It left a ridiculous ring on the inside, and that sucker wiped right out. I haven't burned or scorched any of my foods and it's pretty, too!" — HerRoyalHighness Get it from Amazon for $43.84+ (available in three sizes and 10 colors). 31. Suede clogs 👀 that'll only run you $40 if budget is a concern but you wanna be on-trend. Reviewers say that just like more expensive Birkenstock options, they even mold to your feet the more you wear them. Promising review:"I love these! I was hoping they could compare for the Birkenstock brand, and I'm so glad they can! I debated whether to purchase these, but when they arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. They look and feel just like my Birkenstocks for a fraction of the price. I will definitely be buying them in the other colors. Their fit is accurate as well. I wear a size 10, and ordered a size 10. I have about 1/2 inch of the shoe behind my heel. I would say they are a perfect fit!" — Alicia Lewis Get them from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in women's sizes 5.5–14 and in eight colors). 32. The Gym People's pullover fleece sweatshirt if you like the look of Lululemon's oversized scuba hoodies but can't bear to throw down $118 on an item you'll likely stain on your second wear. Promising review: " This sweatshirt looks just like Lululemon. I love the oversized look. The quality of material is amazing. It is thick and soft and very comfortable. I also really like the gold zipper, it helps give it a higher-quality look. Will definitely be buying more in other colors." — K. Becker Get it from Amazon $38.99 (available in women's sizes XS—XL and in 13 colors). 33. A dazzling cubic zirconia ring that looks *just* like the one you've seen on the hand of many a celeb and influencer — but for $10. Just keep it away from water (and maybe don't wear it to Solidcore classes if you sweat a lot), and you'll get your money's worth. Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles). 34. A Briotech spray reviewers compare to Tower 28's SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. Similar to its pricier counterpart, the mist employs hypochlorous acid to fight off irritants and target all sorts of skin woes from acne and rosacea to eczema and dermatitis. BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings. (Note: This product has newer packaging that you might receive instead of the older bottle shown above!) Promising review: "This spray is amazing. I had a rash on my face, and it disappeared after one use of this spray. I had a stye in my eye, and the skin around the eye was irritated. This spray fixed not only the irritation but the stye went away as well. Any sort of blemish or acne is taken care of with this simple, inexpensive spray. Great for after-sun care or workout redness. Everyone loves Tower 28's expensive SOS spray. The SOS spray contains hypochlorous acid, which is the exact same ingredient in the Briotech spray for much less money. It's a miracle worker." — Squid466 Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 35. A high-neck cropped tank that reviewers swear by as it offers loads of support (seriously... one reviewer with G cups says they don't even have to wear a bra!), isn't see-through, and its quality is on par with much more expensive options from Athleta and Lululemon. Promising review: "Exact alternative to Lululemon, Athleta, and Alo. The quality, price, and material are exceptional. If you're debating this purchase, just buy it — you won't regret it." — Brittani Get it from Amazon for $17.07+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 29 colors). 36. Slingback heels for anyone leaning into their timeless French fashion era. What can I say? The French know what they're doing and these Chanel-inspired heels are a no-brainer. Promising review:"Love these sandals. I bought them for a black and beige dress, thinking I'd be limited to only those matching colors. After receiving and trying them on — they looked perfect with jeans, too! My feet are not narrow but not wide either. The fit is perfect on my size 8 feet, which are usually in sneakers. Dressing up in these sandals will present a [high-end] vibe and be comfortable, too!! I love the look it gives my feet! Dress it up, dress it down, and easy wearing — my go-to sandals now!!" — shinyliberty Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in six colors). 37. A colorful pan from BuzzFeed's Goodful line — it's not just cute, but has the ability to kick all of your other dented and scratched pots to the curb as it can pan fry, sauté, sear, boil, simmer, blanche, braise, poach, deep fry, stew... and more but I'll stop myself there. Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this pan. I previously owned an Always Pan which retails for $150 and this pan is way better! The Always Pan didn't last at all and I've been using this one daily and it's still just as nonstick as when I bought it. I also love that it's lightweight compared to other pans I've used. The colors are so pretty, too! I'm buying a second one for my RV :)" — Donna Irene Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in eight colors). 38. And a set of amber glass soap dispensers that look a whole lot like the ones from Aesop, but won't run you over $40 a pop. Fill 'em with your products of choice and get ready for loads of compliments for guests! Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for! Love this amber glass soap dispenser! It adds a classy touch to my bathroom and works like a charm. Smooth pump action, easy to refill, and eco-friendly. Highly recommend!" — Emily Get a 2-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in nine colors). Reviews in this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.
