YouCopia StoraLid Food Container Lid Organizer
"My kitchen cabinets were constantly overflowing, then I finally invested in this YouCopia StoraLid Food Container Lid Organizer ($13-$25). It's the perfect place to store those annoying lids. Plus, it looks so nice and neat, I get a satisfaction from seeing how organized it is." — Krista Jones, associate editor, Shop
Brightech Sky LED Torchiere Super Bright Floor Lamp
"The Brightech Sky LED Torchiere Super Bright Floor Lamp ($65) is thin, and the light points upward so you never feel like you're looking into a bulb. Speaking of which, this lamp is powered by LED lights, so you'll never actually have to change the bulb, and it never gets too hot to touch. Just plug it into the wall and you're good to go. The lamp comes with a dimmer, so you can adjust the lighting based on your mood. It's also crazy-easy to put together. Like, done-in-five-minutes easy." — India Yaffe, assistant editor, Shop
Casper Sleep Wave Foam Mattress
"I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to try the Casper Sleep Wave Foam Mattress ($1,395-$2,794) in a queen size, and I swear to you, I feel like an entirely new person. I have more energy every day, all because I changed what I'm sleeping on. Oh, and those back aches? They're entirely gone." — Macy Cate Willians, senior editor, Shop
Smart Power Strip, WiFi Surge Protector
"I always get nervous about leaving things plugged in when I'm not home, and this Smart Power Strip, WiFi Surge Protector ($29) is the answer. You can sync lights, devices, and more to a timer or manually turn them on or off from your smartphone, no matter where you are." — KJ
Cleaning Sponge Gloves
"I've heard a lot about how silicone sponges are more hygienic than a traditional sponge that collects tons of bacteria, but I was completely blown away by these Cleaning Sponge Gloves ($10), which I found trending on Amazon. I was completely sold on the concept that these gloves are a two-in-one product. I bought them within 30 seconds, and I love them. They can withstand temperatures of -40 through 200 degrees Celsius, so using scorching-hot water isn't an issue. Plus, they even come with a handy hook, so you can hang them up to dry when you're done." — KJ
NuLoom Bohemian Reiko Area Rug
"Last week, when my sister walked into my bedroom, she gasped. 'Where did you get that rug?' she asked. 'And how did you afford it?' I laughed at her commentary because I was also in complete shock when I unboxed my new purchase. I discovered this NuLoom Bohemian Reiko Area Rug ($90, originally $144) on Amazon and couldn't believe how affordable it was. I was looking to add more color to my space, and this was the perfect option. Not only is the rug beautiful, but it's also a great quality. The 100 percent nylon material means it doesn't absorb stains easily, so I'll definitely be able to keep it for a long time. I like it so much, I need to get it in another color!" — MCW
Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Loft Pillow
"I used to wonder if there was such thing as the perfect pillow. This is mostly because I like mine super flat — I mean like-they're-10-years-old flat — and unluckily for me, they're not often sold like that. Then I discovered this Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Loft Pillow ($60) trending on Amazon and knew I needed it. The popular pillow offers the best solution for every type of preference, and it's easy to see why it's currently the site's most popular and best-reviewed choice. I took out the amount of stuffing I wanted and found my perfect texture." — KJ
Tovala Gen 2 Smart Steam Oven
"I gave the Tovala Gen 2 Smart Steam Oven ($299) a try, and it's so much better than a toaster oven. This smart device is actually more of a steam oven, but it has five different modes you can use. It steams, bakes, broils, reheats, and yes, it also toasts. I ended up going for this choice, because why not get all the extra features? Plus, one thing that stood out to me is that it's popular for its Scan-to-Cook technology. The Tovala brand goes beyond just producing ovens, it also offers food subscription options that are delivered right to your door." — KJ
Novogratz Tallulah Memory Foam Futon
"Every time a new person walks into my apartment, they ask me the same exact question: 'OMG, where did you get your couch?' It's a gorgeous green velvet sofa, and I can't believe I found it on Amazon. I searched far and wide for a timeless, functional couch that would be the focal point of my space. The Novogratz Tallulah Memory Foam Futon ($397, originally $590) was exactly what I was looking for, especially with that insanely low price point. The fabric is an imitation velvet that looks convincingly real. I also prefer the material because it doesn't absorb liquid or leave stains behind. I have even spilled a glass of red wine on my beloved sofa, and you would never know it." — MW
Casper Sleep Foam Pillow
"The Casper Sleep Foam Pillow ($65, originally $89) and it's been a total game-changer. At first, I wasn't sure if a foam pillow was for me, because I always preferred light and plush ones. What I didn't realize though, is that the way it forms to your neck and head while sleeping is actually so much more comfortable. The brand boasts that it also promotes healthy alignment for a better night of sleep, and I 100 percent felt that. Something about sinking into this pillow feels more relaxing than ever." — KJ
Safavieh California 8x10 Shag Rug
"This year, I've been on a mission to revamp my space, and the one thing I spent forever looking for was the perfect area rug. Once day while browsing on Amazon, I came across this ivory Safavieh California 8x10 Shag Rug ($207) and it caught my eye. The thick, fluffy, and luxe-looking rug instantly brightened up my home. Within seconds, my living room felt like a whole new space. The light from my bay windows reflected perfectly onto the fuzzy surface to create a fresh new feel." — KJ
Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver Food Storage Containers
"I invested in the Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver Food Storage Containers ($37), and they've been so helpful. I eat kale and arugula almost daily, and the two larger containers are the perfect way to store them, and they really do last longer! I feel like the leaves are crispy and fresh, not soggy and old. The smaller container has been perfect for keeping fresh berries." — KJ
Stasher 100% Silicone Food Grade Reusable Storage Bags
"If you're making it a mission to reduce plastic use in your household, then you'll want to try the Stasher 100% Silicone Food Grade Reusable Storage Bags ($12). I own a couple different shapes and sizes and especially love that they're easy open and close. Plus, they're even easy to clean in the dishwasher, making them a practical choice too." — KJ
Philips Premium Analog Airfryer with Fat Removal Technology
"I cannot say enough good things about this Philips Premium Analog Airfryer with Fat Removal Technology ($170, originally $200), but I'll leave you with this. In this machine, I can make crispy, delicious salmon in 15 minutes with no fish smell in the apartment. If that doesn't inspire you, I don't know what will." — IY
Royal Craft Wood Bamboo Kitchen Drawer Organizer
"This Royal Craft Wood Bamboo Kitchen Drawer Organizer ($30) helps me keep my drawers put together. The organizer features a genius design that adjusts and expands perfectly to your space. My drawers are narrow, so I am only able to expand one side of the tray, which was actually perfect for some extra knifes I had, saving me countertop space."
