online gambling sites real money NEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks pulled Wall Street to another record amid a mixed Monday of trading. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% from its all-time high set on Friday to post a record for the 54th time this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 128 points, or 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. Super Micro Computer, a stock that’s been on an AI-driven roller coaster, soared 28.7% to lead the market. Following allegations of misconduct and the resignation of its public auditor , the maker of servers used in artificial-intelligence technology said an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or by the company’s board. It also said that it doesn’t expect to restate its past financials and that it will find a new chief financial officer, appoint a general counsel and make other moves to strengthen its governance. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up the market. Gains of 1.8% for Microsoft and 3.2% for Meta Platforms were the two strongest forces pushing upward on the S&P 500. Intel was another propellant during the morning, but it lost an early gain to fall 0.5% after the chip company said CEO Pat Gelsinger has retired and stepped down from the board. Intel is looking for Gelsinger’s replacement, and its chair said it’s “committed to restoring investor confidence.” Intel recently lost its spot in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to Nvidia, which has skyrocketed in Wall Street’s frenzy around AI. Stellantis, meanwhile, skidded following the announcement of its CEO’s departure . Carlos Tavares steps down after nearly four years in the top spot of the automaker, which owns car brands like Jeep, Citroën and Ram, amid an ongoing struggle with slumping sales and an inventory backlog at dealerships. The world’s fourth-largest automaker’s stock fell 6.3% in Milan. The majority of stocks in the S&P 500 likewise fell, including California utility PG&E. It dropped 5% after saying it would sell $2.4 billion of stock and preferred shares to raise cash. Retailers were mixed amid what’s expected to be the best Cyber Monday on record and coming off Black Friday . Target, which recently gave a forecast for the holiday season that left investors discouraged , fell 1.2%. Walmart , which gave a more optimistic forecast, rose 0.2%. Amazon, which looks to benefit from online sales from Cyber Monday, climbed 1.4%. All told, the S&P 500 added 14.77 points to 6,047.15. The Dow fell 128.65 to 44,782.00, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 185.78 to 19,403.95. The stock market largely took Donald Trump’s latest threat on tariffs in stride. The president-elect on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a group of developing economies if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. Trump said he wants the group, headlined by Brazil, Russia, India and China, to promise it won’t create a new currency or otherwise try to undercut the U.S. dollar. The dollar has long been the currency of choice for global trade. Speculation has also been around a long time that other currencies could knock it off its mantle, but no contender has come close. The U.S. dollar’s value rose Monday against several other currencies, but one of its strongest moves likely had less to do with the tariff threats. The euro fell amid a political battle in Paris over the French government’s budget . The euro sank 0.7% against the U.S. dollar and broke below $1.05. In the bond market, Treasury yields gave up early gains to hold relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed above 4.23% during the morning before falling back to 4.19%. That was just above its level of 4.18% late Friday. A report in the morning showed the U.S. manufacturing sector contracted again last month, but not by as much as economists expected. This upcoming week will bring several big updates on the job market, including the October job openings report, weekly unemployment benefits data and the all-important November jobs report. They could steer the next moves for Federal Reserve, which recently began pulling interest rates lower to give support to the economy. Economists expect Friday’s headliner report to show U.S. employers accelerated their hiring in November, coming off October’s lackluster growth that was hampered by damaging hurricanes and strikes. “We now find ourselves in the middle of this Goldilocks zone, where economic health supports earnings growth while remaining weak enough to justify potential Fed rate cuts,” according to Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide. In financial markets abroad, Chinese stocks led gains worldwide as monthly surveys showed improving conditions for manufacturing, partly driven by a surge in orders ahead of Trump’s inauguration next month. Both official and private sector surveys of factory managers showed strong new orders and export orders, possibly partly linked to efforts by importers in the U.S. to beat potential tariff hikes by Trump once he takes office. Indexes rose 0.7% in Hong Kong and 1.1% in Shanghai.

Fianna Fail and Fine Gael eye independent TDs as option to secure Dail majoritySit-ins against Parachinar killings continue at 14 locations in Karachi. KARACHI - As protest sit-ins by the religious-political party Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) continued in parts of Karachi over deadly tensions in Parachinar, the Sindh government on Sunday appealed to religious scholars to help end the demonstrations. “Jirga has decided on the Kurram issue now the protest sit-ins in Karachi should end,” Sindh government spokesperson Sadia Javed said in a televised statement issued earlier this evening. Travelling has become a nightmare for a number of citizens as traffic gets clogged at different points and the commuters have to take a diversion, which further aggravates the traffic situation on other arteries as well. The protest demonstrations, which have continued for six consecutive days, are being held at 14 different locations, including major thoroughfares. In addition to other areas, demonstrations are currently taking place at Numaish Chowrangi, Natha Khan Bridge on Sharea Faisal, in front of KDA Flats in Surjani Town, Golimar, Power House Chowrangi, near Safari Park on University Road, Korangi No. 21⁄2, Five Star Chowrangi in North Nazimabad, Abul Hassan Isphani Road, Kamran Chowrangi in Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Incholi Society, and near Ayesha Manzil. The traffic police, however, said that alternative routes have been provided to facilitate the commuters. The protests stem from the deteriorating security situation in Parachinar, where clashes have resulted in over 130 fatalities since November, the point of the recent escalation of conflict between two tribal groups. In today’s statement, the Sindh government spokesperson urged the protesting party to “realise the sufferings of Karachi citizens” as they are facing deep troubles due the road closures. She pointed out that life in Karachi has been paralysed due to protests, adding that even ambulances had been facing trouble in reaching certain areas. “If you [protesters] want to continue the sit-ins, move it to a ground or [road] outside the Press Club,” Javed added, assuring the government’s readiness to provide facilities.

During their visit, they also met the leaders of the religious-political party to hold talks. The police chief urged the protesting party to confine its sit-in to Drigh Road as the commuters were facing immense trouble. Separately, while addressing a press conference, senior MWM leader Hassan Zafar Naqvi said that the protests were peaceful in nature, adding: “Our sit-ins are free from sectarianism and open to individuals from all backgrounds. People from various walks of life are joining us in solidarity.” Despite the prolonged demonstration, Hassan clarified that the participants were not presenting any specific demands for negotiations. “We are not here to push forward any demands; our protest is a testament to our stance and principles,” he stated. He said that they are willing to end sit-ins in Karachi if the Parachinar protest is called off. “We have staged these sit-ins at the request of Allama Raja Nasir Abbas and will end them upon his directive,” he added. Kamran Tessori announces grand fireworks at Governor House on New Year’s eve Speaking about the challenges faced in Parachinar, Hassan highlighted that the region is grappling with basic issues. Even helicopters lack fuel and gas to operate effectively, he remarked, underscoring the urgent need for attention to these problems. The MWM leader reaffirmed the peaceful nature of the demonstrations and their purpose. “Our protests are non-violent and aim to raise our voices against all forms of oppression,” he said. However, he expressed concern over the negative propaganda being circulated against their sit-ins. “There is a deliberate campaign to malign our peaceful demonstrations,” Hassan added. He warned the Sindh government not to exploit their ongoing protests for political gains. He clarified that it was not a protest organised by any political party. Instead, it is a protest for the oppressed, and people from all walks of life are participating, he added. Sindh govt will not compromise on its water rights: Shazia Marri “If we call for sit-ins across Sindh, the government will not be able to stop them,” the MWM leader added, hinting at the expanding circle of protests. Reiterating the peaceful and inclusive nature of the demonstrations, Hassan claimed that their protests have not disrupted daily life. “We have kept one lane open at every protest site, ensuring that no businesses are affected,” he stated. A day earlier, Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab slammed continuous blockades of roads in Karachi “under the guise of protest”, saying it was an inappropriate act. The mayor also rebuked the protestors for damaging newly-constructed roads. “Who allowed them to damage the roads constructed recently in New Karachi,” he said, while speaking to reporters. Murtaza said the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government should resolve the issue of Parachinar. However, he added, blocking arteries would not serve the purpose. He lamented that if anything happened anywhere in the country, demonstrations are staged and roads are closed in Karachi. Police arrest man for killing friend Meanwhile, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah appealed to the demonstrators to avoid causing hardship for the public, saying: “Blocking roads in Karachi and Sukkur will not resolve the Parachinar issue.” Parachinar, located in Kurram, is a tribal district near the Afghan border with a population of around 600,000. It has long been a hotspot for conflict. Recent clashes have triggered a humanitarian crisis, with shortages of medicine and oxygen exacerbated by the closure of the highway connecting Parachinar to Peshawar. In a relief effort, the Sindh governor’s office announced that a helicopter carrying medical supplies and other aid had reached Parachinar. These provisions were sent on the Sindh governor’s directive to address the growing crisis. Tags: sindh govt seeks ulema mwm sit

A range of independent TDs are contemplating the prospect of entering Ireland’s next coalition government as Fianna Fail and Fine Gael consider ways to secure a solid majority. Three long days of counting in the General Election finished late on Monday night when the final two seats were declared in the constituency of Cavan-Monaghan. Fianna Fail was the clear winner of the election, securing 48 of the Dail parliament’s 174 seats. Sinn Fein took 39 and Fine Gael 38. Labour and the Social Democrats both won 11 seats; People Before Profit-Solidarity took three; Aontu secured two; and the Green Party retained only one of its 12 seats. Independents and others accounted for 21 seats. The return of a Fianna Fail/Fine Gael-led coalition is now highly likely. However, their combined seat total of 86 leaves them just short of the 88 needed for a majority in the Dail. While the two centrist parties that have dominated Irish politics for a century could look to strike a deal with one of the Dail’s smaller centre-left parties, such as the Social Democrats or Labour, a more straightforward route to a majority could be achieved by securing the support of several independent TDs. For Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin and current taoiseach and Fine Gael leader Simon Harris, wooing like-minded independents would be likely to involve fewer policy concessions, and financial commitments, than would be required to convince another party to join the government benches. Longford-Westmeath independent TD Kevin “Boxer” Moran, who served in a Fine Gael-led minority government between 2017 and 2020, expressed his willingness to listen to offers to join the new coalition in Dublin. “Look, my door’s open,” he told RTE. “Someone knocks, I’m always there to open it.” Marian Harkin, an independent TD for Sligo-Leitrim, expressed her desire to participate in government as she noted that Fianna Fail and Fine Gael were within “shouting distance” of an overall majority. “That means they will be looking for support, and I certainly will be one of those people who will be speaking to them and talking to them and negotiating with them, and I’m looking forward to doing that, because that was the reason that I ran in the first place,” she said. Meanwhile, the Social Democrats and Irish Labour Party both appear cautious about the prospect of an alliance with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael. They will no doubt be mindful of the experience of the Green Party, the junior partner in the last mandate. The Greens experienced near wipeout in the election, retaining only one of their 12 seats. Sinn Fein appears to currently have no realistic route to government, given Fianna Fail and Fine Gael’s ongoing refusal to share power with the party. Despite the odds being stacked against her party, Sinn Fein president Mary Lou McDonald contacted the leaders of the Social Democrats and Labour on Monday to discuss options. Earlier, Fianna Fail deputy leader and outgoing Finance Minister Jack Chambers predicted that a new coalition government would not be in place before Christmas. Mr Chambers said planned talks about forming an administration required “time and space” to ensure that any new government will be “coherent and stable”. After an inconclusive outcome to the 2020 election, it took five months for Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the Greens to strike the last coalition deal. Mr Chambers said he did not believe it would take that long this time, as he noted the Covid-19 pandemic was a factor in 2020, but he also made clear it would not be a swift process. He said he agreed with analysis that there was no prospect of a deal before Christmas. “I don’t expect a government to be formed in mid-December, when the Dail is due to meet on December 18, probably a Ceann Comhairle (speaker) can be elected, and there’ll have to be time and space taken to make sure we can form a coherent, stable government,” he told RTE. “I don’t think it should take five months like it did the last time – Covid obviously complicated that. But I think all political parties need to take the time to see what’s possible and try and form a stable government for the Irish people.” Fine Gael minister of state Peter Burke said members of his parliamentary party would have to meet to consider their options before giving Mr Harris a mandate to negotiate a new programme for government with Fianna Fail. “It’s important that we have a strong, stable, viable government, whatever form that may be, to ensure that we can meet the challenges of our society, meet the challenges in terms of the economic changes that are potentially going to happen,” he told RTE. Despite being set to emerge with the most seats, it has not been all good news for Fianna Fail. The party’s outgoing Health Minister Stephen Donnelly became one of the biggest casualties of the election when he lost his seat in Wicklow in the early hours of Monday morning. Mr Donnelly was always predicted to face a fight in the constituency after boundary changes saw it reduced from five to four seats. If it is to be a reprise of the Fianna Fail/Fine Gael governing partnership of the last mandate, one of the major questions is around the position of taoiseach and whether the parties will once again take turns to hold the Irish premiership during the lifetime of the new government. The outcome in 2020 saw the parties enter a coalition on the basis that the holder of the premier position would be exchanged midway through the term. Fianna Fail leader Mr Martin took the role for the first half of the mandate, with Leo Varadkar taking over in December 2022. Current Fine Gael leader Mr Harris succeeded Mr Varadkar as taoiseach when he resigned from the role earlier this year. However, this time Fianna Fail has significantly increased its seat lead over Fine Gael, compared with the last election when there were only three seats between the parties. The size of the disparity in party numbers is likely to draw focus on the rotating taoiseach arrangement, raising questions as to whether it will be re-run in the next coalition and, if it is, on what terms. On Sunday, Simon Coveney, a former deputy leader of Fine Gael, said a coalition that did not repeat the rotating taoiseach arrangement in some fashion would be a “difficult proposition” for his party. Meanwhile, Fine Gael minister Paschal Donohoe said he would be making the case for Mr Harris to have another opportunity to serve as taoiseach. On Monday, Mr Chambers said while his party would expect to lead the government it would approach the issue of rotating the taoiseach’s role on the basis of “mutual respect” with Fine Gael. “I think the context of discussions and negotiations will be driven by mutual respect, and that’s the glue that will drive a programme for government and that’s the context in which we’ll engage,” he said. On Monday, Labour leader Ivana Bacik reiterated her party’s determination to forge an alliance with fellow centre-left parties with the intention of having a unified approach to the prospect of entering government. Asked if Labour was prepared to go into government with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael on its own, she told RTE: “No, not at this stage. We are absolutely not willing to do that. “We want to ensure there’s the largest number of TDs who share our vision and our values who want to deliver change on the same basis that we do.” The Social Democrats have been non-committal about any potential arrangement with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, and have restated a series of red lines they would need to achieve before considering taking a place in government. Leader Holly Cairns, who gave birth to a daughter on polling day on Friday, said in a statement: “The party is in a very strong position to play an important role in the next Dail. In what position, government or opposition, remains to be seen.” Fianna Fail secured the most first preference votes in Friday’s proportional representation election, taking 21.9% to Fine Gael’s 20.8%. Sinn Fein came in third on 19%. While Sinn Fein’s vote share represented a marked improvement on its disappointing showing in June’s local elections in Ireland, it is still significantly down on the 24.5% poll-topping share it secured in the 2020 general election. The final breakdown of first preferences also flipped the result of Friday night’s exit poll, which suggested Sinn Fein was in front on 21.1%, with Fine Gael on 21% and Fianna Fail on 19.5%.PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jamal Mashburn Jr. scored 18 points as Temple beat Buffalo 91-71 on Sunday. Mashburn shot 6 for 10 (3 for 6 from 3-point range) and 3 of 4 from the free-throw line for the Owls (8-5). Zion Stanford scored 15 points while going 4 of 9 and 6 of 7 from the free-throw line. Quante Berry had 15 points and shot 7 of 8 from the field and 0 for 4 from the foul line. The Bulls (5-7) were led by Tyson Dunn, who posted 11 points and four assists. Anquan Boldin Jr. added 11 points and three steals for Buffalo. Noah Batchelor also had nine points and six rebounds. Temple took the lead with 5:38 remaining in the first half and never looked back. The score was 39-29 at halftime, with Shane Dezonie racking up seven points. Temple outscored Buffalo in the second half by 10 points, with Mashburn scoring a team-high 13 points after intermission.

NoneIn a message to the American people, the King expressed “great sadness” at the news of Mr Carter’s death, describing him as “a committed public servant” who “devoted his life to promoting peace and human rights”. He added: “His dedication and humility served as an inspiration to many, and I remember with great fondness his visit to the United Kingdom in 1977. “My thoughts and prayers are with President Carter’s family and the American people at this time.” Mr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981 and spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Sir Keir Starmer said Mr Carter had “lived his values in the service of others to the very end” through “decades of selfless public service”. Praising a “lifelong dedication to peace” that saw him win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Sir Keir added: “Motivated by his strong faith and values, President Carter redefined the post-presidency with a remarkable commitment to social justice and human rights at home and abroad.” Tributes to Mr Carter followed the announcement of his death by his family on Sunday, more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love.” Very sorry to hear of President Carter’s passing. I pay tribute to his decades of selfless public service. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time. pic.twitter.com/IaKmZcteb1 — Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) December 29, 2024 US President Joe Biden, one of the first elected politicians to endorse Mr Carter’s bid for the presidency in 1976, said the world had “lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian”. He said: “Over six decades, we had the honour of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well. “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us.” Vice President Kamala Harris said Mr Carter “reminded our nation and the world that there is strength in decency and compassion”. “His life and legacy continue to inspire me — and will inspire generations to come,” she said. “Our world is a better place because of President Carter.” Other UK politicians also paid tribute to Mr Carter. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said he was “an inspiration” who “led a truly remarkable life dedicated to public service with a genuine care for people”. Scottish First Minister John Swinney described the former president as “a good, decent, honest man who strove for peace in all that he did”, while Welsh First Minister said he was “a remarkable man” and “a humanitarian and scholar”. Former prime minister Sir Tony Blair said Mr Carter’s “life was a testament to public service”. He added: “I always had the greatest respect for him, his spirit and his dedication. He fundamentally cared and consistently toiled to help those in need.” Gordon Brown, another former prime minister, said it was a “privilege” to have known Mr Carter, who “will be mourned, not just in America, but in every continent where human rights are valued”. Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta, Georgia, and Washington DC before being buried in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and, finally, the White House, where he took office as 39th president in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked more than four decades leading The Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Under his leadership, the Carter Center virtually eliminated Guinea Worm disease, which has gone from affecting 3.5 million people in Africa and Asia in 1986 to just 14 in 2023. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service

I usually require about three pillows for just myself, not including my husband. I like to sleep propped up a bit so my sinuses don't get stopped up at night.

Soft but firm. How does that work? It gives support for me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud. Soft, but firm. My head isn't sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped.

It really helps to retain the moisture in Black hair and keeps my kinky curly hair from being all over the place when I wake up.

I get so many compliments on it and it's seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time.

This particular towel warmer also comes in some adorable colors, like light blue and pink. Get a closer look at it on TikTok ! Promising review: "So, I am one of those people that usually runs colder than most. I get out of the shower, and am usually FREEZING even with a towel wrapped around me. THIS CHANGED THE GAME!! I put my towel in before my shower (I like 15–20 minutes to heat it), and when I pull it out, it is warm throughout the entire towel and if I leave the lid off after pulling out my towel (I've turned off the machine at this point) the residual heat helps to heat the room. Since I have gotten this towel warmer, I have recommended it to almost every person in my family. I LOVE IT!! So worth it!! Update: The husband has also taken to using it for every shower. STILL so in love!" — Sara Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in seven styles). 7. Oversized waffle-weave bath towels that are both lightweight and ultra-absorbent, similar to what you'd find at a spa. They dry *much* faster than the heavy plush kind, and you'll feel more luxurious every time you towel off with one. Promising reviews : "These towels are large and the thickest towels we ever had, and I'm talking about the most expensive hotels we ever stayed at. I would imagine after dozens and dozens of washing and bleaching these towels may equal those used at the Waldorf-Astoria and the Plaza in New York City . You won't find much lint on your lint trap after drying. These will last a lifetime!!!" — PS "Just finished washing towels and not one speck of lint! Just what I wanted. These towels are not plushy. They are quick dry, so they're textured and a lighter weight than a traditional thick plush towel . It is exactly what I wanted. In Europe they use towels like this because many homes do not have dryers; everything is line-dried. The thick plushy towels don’t dry well and easily get musty and odorous. These are A+++." — Sammi Get a pack of four from Amazon for $39.99 (available in four colors and other sets and sizes). 8. A luxe stone bath mat designed to absorb water *and* dry quickly — almost like magic — to eliminate moisture buildup and bad smells, a common problem with regular everyday bath mats. No risk of slipping on the wet bathroom floor or feeling that uncomfortable ~moistness~, AND the sleek modern look will add a little extra something to your b-room as well. This sustainable product is made out of diatomaceous earth and recycled paper! Reviewers say the feel of it under your feet does take some getting used to (especially if you're used to a traditional bath mat), but they attest to how well this thing absorbs water and that the moisture seemingly just disappears afterward. My boyfriend upgraded his bathroom with these, so I've been able to test them out in person. And I have to say, it really is just like how one reviewer described it: like the water is basically being sucked off your feet — and then the mats themselves dry super quickly, almost like magic. They're definitely a bit smaller than I anticipated (my partner ended up getting several and positioning them together) but since they work *so* well at drying your feet, you also don't need a ton of surface area. Get a closer look at the white version on TikTok ! Promising review : "This is our second Dorai bath stone; we are adding them to all of our bathrooms. This design and usefulness of this product is undisputed. We no longer have water on our floors, reducing the chance of slipping on wet floors . These need to be in every home in the US." — B. Henricks Get it from Amazon for $67+ (available in two colors and two patterns). 9. Prismatic film for covering your sunniest windows, or alternatives like crystal ball suncatchers and window clings (or a combination of all three!) — because there's nothing quite like the effect dancing rainbows of light have on a room. The all-over window film is a great option if you're looking to add privacy (covering a window while still letting sunlight through), while the smaller clings are even easier to apply and also double as anti-collision decals for birds. And the crystal ball suncatchers might be small, but they'll make the whole room *sparkle* with mini rainbows when the sun hits them just right. Reviewers say they look and feel way more expensive than they are! Promising review (for the prismatic film): "It amazes me that this clear window cling has no coloring in it — that is until the sun or lighting shines on it. Then watch the light show begin! A full spectrum of colors gets projected from the cling onto the wall and onto the floor when the sun hits the cling . At night, the porch light turns the clear cling into a colorful stained glass-like window. It offers a bit of privacy, too. I am very happy with this purchase!" — Amazon Customer Get the prismatic privacy film for $7.99+ (available in 13 sizes), the pair of crystal ball suncatchers for $9.98 , and the set of 16 hexagonal prismatic clings for $7.25 . 10. An ornate candle snuffer that's beautiful, functional, and a little ~extra~ all at the same time. With this, you can extinguish your candles without having to blow them out (which potentially spreads embers and wax), and it'll look SO pretty sitting on your mantle or coffee table. Promising review : "Absolutely stunning! This is gorgeous and very durable. I love it!" — Amber Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four colors, plus more gorgeous designs here ). 11. A jar of Capri Blue Volcano scent booster to spread this cult-favorite scent to your clothes, sheets, and towels when you do laundry. It'll make them smell deliciously fresh when they come out and add a little ~luxury~ to your laundry routine. It's featured in this TikTok ! Promising reviews : "I read many reviews of the volcano scent booster and knew I had to try it to freshen up my laundry. I’m so glad I tried it because I love the scent and my laundry smells divine, and so far it really seems to last . It’s out of stock often from what I gather, so I bought two to start with and all set for a while now. I love this stuff and will definitely be repurchasing as needed." — Kelli E. "I am in love with this scent booster! I have sensitive skin and always thought I couldn't use scented laundry items, but no issues! Particularly love on my towels and bed linens, but also when I wash dog beds and kid backpacks :) in addition to my clothes. Love!!" — Melissa D. Get it from Capri Blue for $22 . 12. A genius water bottle with a built-in infuser for adding lemons, berries, mint leaves, ginger, or other ingredients to your water. It'll kick up the flavor, yes, but it'll also make you feel ridiculously fancy (it's the little things, OK!!) — plus, no seeds or pulp will slip through! It even has handy time markers on the side to keep you on top of your hydration schedule. It comes with an insulation sleeve, cleaning brush, and recipe booklet! My former colleague Britt Ross says, "I am one of those people who has, until recently, gone through life thinking, 'Why would I drink water when there are other beverages that actually taste good to be had?' Well, I received this gizmo as a birthday gift from my water-loving husband as a not-so-subtle hint to change my ways, and lo and behold, it's been a revelation. I often have lemon remnants left over from cooking and baking, and they're the perfect things to throw into the infuser section of the bottle to liven things up. It's amazing what a little fruitiness can do — I can guzzle a whole bottle easily! Plus, it's much easier to clean than you'd think (each section comes apart and there's an included brush!), and there's a grippy section on the side so it doesn't slip out of your hand. Oh, and did I mention it has not ever leaked?! 10/10, no notes, buy it NOW!!!" Promising review: "This is my new obsession! I can’t believe how much joy a little thing like this can bring, but I just love it! I love experimenting with new fruit and herb combos (orange/blackberry/mint, and lemon/ cucumber are my favorites so far). I drink much more water now, and my skin is glowing! And it's so cheap but feels so fancy. Buy it, of course!" — Kindle Customer 1 Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in seven colors). 13. A gorgeous Hatch Restore 2 , the new-and-improved version of TikTok's favorite sunrise alarm clock. This beauty is designed to gentle wind you down at night and wake you up just as gently with its soft glow and gentle sounds. It also functions as a touch-controlled smart light and bedside lamp! If you're trying to train yourself to wake up earlier, reviewers say it can keep you from hitting that 'snooze' button like you're used to. The Restore 2 comes with design upgrades and a bunch of new content. It has 10 new sunrise sounds, new light and sound pairings, 12 new sleep sounds, and a Morning Moment that includes meditation, stretches, and more to start your day off on the right foot. Basically, if you don't already have a Hatch Restore, it's worth going for this upgraded version, though the 2020 model is also still available for $99.99 . Promising review: "I have been eyeing the Hatch alarm clock for over a year and am so happy I finally purchased the Hatch Restore 2! I work as a nurse and get up much earlier than my partner. He hasn’t woken up or been bothered by my alarm at all. I’m waking up in a better mood because the sound of the alarm is soothing, and the light that comes on when it’s time to start waking up is really nice instead of waking up to a completely dark room. "Having a pretty and unique alarm clock on my bedside table was important to me and I’m loving the latte color. Setup was easy using my iPhone and I love that I can choose specific days I want to wake up early for my irregular work schedule. Overall, I really love this alarm clock and am so glad I don’t have to use my phone any longer ." — Rachel Get it from Amazon for $169.99 (available in three colors). 14. A bestselling Elizavecca collagen-coating hair treatment that deeply repairs and hydrates your hair thanks to restorative ingredients like collagen and ceramide 3. You just apply it after shampooing, wait as little as five minutes, then rinse it out for hair that looks *and* feels luxuriously soft. Some reviewers say it's even BETTER than Olaplex. (And that's over three times the price!) Reviewers with everything from thin, fine hair to 4c curls have reported positive results from this moisturizing formula, which is particularly recommended for folks whose hair is damaged from using hot tools, bleach, and the like. Promising review: "This is the first product that I have ever used where I saw immediate results. For those out there who have tried Olaplex at home, it's very similar in consistency but I think I see better results and this product is much cheaper. I shampooed my hair, towel-dried so my hair was damp, then ran the product through all my hair, mostly concentrating on my ends. I left it in for as long as I could and rinsed it out and my hair felt smooth and soft immediately. I let my hair air dry and it was soooo shiny! It is a small bottle but you don't need to use much so I can see it lasting for a while if you only do a treatment once a week or once every two weeks." — Samantha Ellis Get it from Amazon for $8.40 . 15. A refreshing ice roller you can keep in the fridge or freezer, then take out as needed to give your face a chilled massage and reduce puffiness and under-eye circles. Basically, you can start your day feeling like you just got a pricey facial. Stick it in the freezer, apply your favorite moisturizer on your face, and then sweep the roller all over. Reviewers also swear by this migraines and cooling down on hot days, so it's multitalented. Watch how it's used by one reviewer to address morning eye puffiness on TikTok ! Promising review: "I was skeptical about this product. I wasn't sure how it was much different than rolling any other frozen thing on your body. I'm beyond pleasantly surprised. I've used it for sinus pain, migraines, swollen neck glands, under-eye circles/bags, inflamed acne, TMJ pain, etc. Not to mention, when I used it on my face, it leaves my skin feeling tight and wakes me up in the mornings. It also stays cold for forever but never sweats or leaves water behind. It's like magic . I also bought one for my mom who suffers from nerve damage in her arms and legs. I think it'll really help when she has bad pain days." — Jessica McRee Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight colors, including bundles with two types of rollers). 16. A pack of 23 Facetory sheet masks packed with all sorts of skin-friendly ingredients, from soothing rice bran extracts and brightening lemon to detoxifying charcoal and plumping collagen. You'll feel so luxurious having this many ~options~ to choose from when your skin needs a pick-me-up, and the positively adorable packaging is just the cherry on top. ✨ Facetory is a Korean brand that launched in 2016, and all of their products are made in Korea. The masks are also cruelty-free and free of sulfates, parabens, fragrances, and synthetic colors. I've bought this face mask collection myself and absolutely love it. Each one has a few key benefits, which are detailed on the back along with the main ingredients (plus a super cute illustration with directions on how to use, in case you've never used sheet masks before). I leave each mask on for ~15 minutes, then pat the remaining product into my skin until it absorbs completely, and follow with a moisturizing cream to lock it all in. Doing this a few times a week has made my nighttime skincare routine feel so much more luxurious , and at just over $1 per mask, I think it's a sweet deal for something that's not only great for my skin but a mood-booster as well! Promising review : "Omg, too busy education professional here. Never time for any skin regimen. I’ve been using these nightly though as my little treat at the end of a challenging day. I pop these on and go about unwinding. They work like a charm and my tired, overworked drying skin is responding! They are nicely cool on your face and refreshing. Love each one I’ve tried so far, and that’s saying a lot. Feel like it’s my secret little luxury. And I do deserve this lol!" — Kindle Customer Gina Get the variety pack from Amazon for $34.50 (also available in other packs). 17. And a gentle, TikTok-popular bubbly clay mask that also deserves a spot in your skincare routine ASAP (because self-care is *not* overrated). It's designed to deep clean your pores and help remove blackheads, but ALSO it'll foam up to make your face look like a cloud!! Now that's just fun. Check out a TikTok of the foaming mask in action. Promising review: "I love this stuff! I received some for a gift and then purchased it for my daughter from Amazon. It feels like a clay mask going on, and then starts bubbling and turns to a thinner substance when it's done. I feel like it is very gentle on my face. My skin feels amazing after I wash it off. It feels like I used moisturizer, even though I did not. I hear that these masks are very popular in Japan." — L. Shea Get it from Amazon for $15.10 . 18. A set of vintage-inspired glass mugs so you can feel *extra* fancy drinking your lattes, tea, or [insert drink of choice here]. Heck, you could even eat yogurt, oatmeal, ice cream, or other little snacks out of this and I would support it 100%. The set of two also comes with two gold spoons to match. 🥺 Promising review : "Came straight to Amazon when I saw these beautiful mugs on TikTok. I just had to have them! I’m very picky with mugs, these are perfect for me. Stunning to look at and a pleasure to drink out of. Highly recommend!" — Margarita Harutoonian Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven styles). 19. A Grosche moka pot , aka a stovetop espresso maker if you've been *dying* to whip up some delicious lattes and other ~fancy~ coffee drinks at home but aren't as excited at the thought of shelling out hundreds for an espresso machine. It's super easy to use, has a durable stone finish, and comes in some gorgeous shades, including speckled pink, gray, and mint. Check it out on TikTok ! The reviewer demonstrates how they use it on the stove for making espresso for their lattes. Promising review : "Greatest purchase in the last five years!!! I have always been a coffee drinker but I recently purchased a moka pot to make iced espressos during the summer. Quickly it became an everyday thing! I love this moka pot more than any other item in my kitchen other than my actual coffee pot brewer! I had bought a cheap one elsewhere and that lasted about three weeks before falling apart. I spent a little more money for a quality product and have never looked back! I recommend this particular moka pot as it was slightly more than the cheap ones but less than some of the bigger name brands. It has lasted me two and a half years now without ever giving me a problem. Definitely a customer for life." — A. Arvy Get it from Amazon for $31.62+ (available in 11 colors and four sizes). 20. Or a dreamy Mackenzie-Childs enamel tea kettle to elevate not just your daily tea ritual but the entire aesthetic of your kitchen. Hand-painted with an elegant glass knob and wood handle for easy pouring, this work of art combines function and beauty and *demands* to be left out for admiring at all times. Get a closer look at it on TikTok ! Promising reviews : "Really, has anyone ever gotten anything from MacKenzie-Childs and NOT been completely over the moon? I love this teapot! I wish I could afford the whole line of Courtly Check enamel dishes ...for a start!" — Debbie Dombrowski "As silly as it sounds, I see this teapot on so many TV shows sitting on the stove. I just had to have one, and this is perfect — it brightens up my white kitchen. It doesn't whistle, so you can't leave the room with it on the stove. But if you watch Real Housewives and see this on every single stove, it's the one, and I love it!" — Jackie M Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in two sizes and five colors). 21. Sugar cubes for sweetening your coffee or tea (instead of scooping into your regular sugar jar), especially if you're serving it to others. I mean, look at them — they're just delightful. Bonus points if you store them in a pretty container and serve with tongs . Promising review : "What else would I use in my fancy cocktails and lattes? Nothing else. Just douse them with colorful aromatic bitters and you have a beautifully made cocktail. I drop them into a glass of champagne and my girlfriend squeals with delights. They're a great way to celebrate old school by serving them with coffee or espresso — one lump or two?" — Phil Philson Get a 1-pound box from Amazon for $8.99 . 22. A gold decorative mirror you can hang or even use as a tray to elegantly display jewelry, perfume, or other items. This low-key looks like something out of Beauty and the Beast and I'm here for it. See it on TikTok . Promising review : "I am forever in love with this! Very aesthetically pleasing!! Mirror hasn’t scratched and adds some *spice* to my perfume collection." — Morgan Newbanks Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three colors). 23. A chic transparent book vase , appropriately titled The Mystery of Growth , that'll inspire you to treat yourself to fresh flowers — because whether you're single or in a relationship, you don't need to wait for anyone else to surprise you with a bouquet (*cue "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus*). 💐 Peep this gorgeous book vase on TikTok ! I also highly recommend looking through the Amazon review images because every single one looks like it belongs in a magazine. Promising review : "I love all things books — so when this popped up in my feed, I had to have it. I ordered it ASAP. It arrived ASAP. I bought tulips ASAP. And it's PERFECT! This is the latest addition to my home office and I love staring at it! 😄 Save time — buy at least two!" — ED Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five transparent colors). 24.

Franca is a small, woman-owned design studio based in Brooklyn, New York. They sell handmade planters, dinnerware, vases, and dog bowls. My former colleague Christine Forbes has a very similar speckled pot from Franca and swears by their planters: " Every now and then, I splurge on a Franca pot and I never have any regrets. This one is so cute! It's becoming one of my favorites from their shop. If you know someone who loves plants, this will make an excellent gift." Get it from Franca for $62+ (available in three sizes). 25. A facial steamer if you've ever stayed in a hot shower a little longer to just soak in the steam — now you can enjoy the same experience from the comfort of your bed or couch. This creates "nano-ionic" steam that penetrates your skin deeply to soften, hydrate, and open up pores — and like your steamy showers, it can also help relieve sinus congestion. Note that this does come with a five-piece stainless steel tool kit as well, but please be careful if performing extractions on yourself as these can injure your skin if not used properly. Promising review : "I absolutely love this product. I purchased it when I was congested because I wanted to use steam to break up congestion. This steamer felt amazing. It definitely helped with my congestion and it opened up my pores too. I used the skin tool kit and that worked great as well. I love that this comes with so many settings including a humidifier and towel warmer as well. This was an absolute game changer for me and I highly recommend it." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $32.95+ (available in three colors). 26. A set of groovy archway light switch covers because swapping out those boring white covers for something a little more exciting is such an easy (and rental-friendly) way to add more color and personality to your space.

Excellent communication by seller. I will totally be purchasing from them again!" — kurstinhollenbeck Get them from Bleucoin on Etsy: the Warsaw tile design (left) or the Hanover design (right) for $11.98+ (available in 11 sizes and matte or glossy finishes).

Be sure to check out all the other wallpaper designs and patterns on their store page for more options! 29. A beautiful jade roller and gua sha set , because once you start using these on the daily, there's no going back. These popular beauty tools are great for using with serums, helping the product absorb more deeply, *and* they can help reduce puffiness, tighten skin, improve blood circulation, and even provide relief from headaches and sinus congestion. Few beauty tools feel like pampering yourself as much as this trusty duo. They're crafted with natural jade! FYI, I use a very similar set at home when I'm applying serums as part of my skincare routine (literally morning and night), and they definitely feel like they're helping the product sink in better and faster. Plus, they always feel really cooling against my skin in the most refreshing way. Promising review : "I love this roller!! Don't even need to put it in the fridge because it's always cold. It feels so, so good applying a bit of pressure and following videos on how to drain the nodes. So relaxing. It makes me happy using it and feels good. It's also gorgeous — very pretty pink and rose gold colors! So luxurious and makes me feel like royalty!" — Uzma Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in pink and blue). 30. A tub caddy , which will motivate you to set a good hour aside for a relaxing bath and pull out all the stops: candles, a cold glass of wine, a bath bomb, and a good novel (or Netflix). It's not only size-adjustable to accommodate different tubs; it also comes equipped with a wineglass holder, edges that safely prop up a book or tablet, a candle holder, and extra space for whatever else your cozy heart desires. Promising review: "When I placed my order for this tray I looked at the pics but did not realize how really cool this piece is. The ability to change the size is great, but I just love the different trays that are removable as well as the ability to put my phone and a Kindle in 'safe' areas of the tray. I found a perfect place for my TV remote should I want to watch TV and not read. I just got it and used it last night but it appears to be well-made, balanced, and offers versatility for the things you may want at your fingertips when taking a luxurious bath!" — SindiMcG Get it from Amazon for $49.97 (available in 11 styles). 31. Or if you're more of a shower person, a jar of whipped shower icing that feels as indulgent as gourmet dessert, except this "icing" goes on your body! Each one of these jars are filled with layers of soapy ~frosting~ with a creamy whipped texture that both cleanses and moisturizes as you lather it on. Indulgence Spa is a Maryland-based, Black woman-owned Etsy shop established in 2015 that specializes in soaps, hair care, and body products. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, " I started using this in the Three Wishes Tea flavor (a combo of tea leaves, peaches, rosebuds, and marigolds) and the smell alone is swoon-worthy, but I love love love how it feels in the shower. It has a satisfying creamy whipped texture, but suds up when you use it so you get that nice satisfying squeaky clean feeling, too. It's lasting a long time, too (which is great, but means I have to wait a little longer to try the other flavors 😂)." Promising review: "Very delicious and very rich! I bought a set in the Black Opium fragrance, which smells just divine! I will definitely buy again." — invisible9 Get it from Indulgence Spa on Etsy for $18.50 (available in many scents). 32. Or some luxurious body butter from The Skincare Bakery — I'm actually salivating looking at these pics. But it's not for eating (sadly); it's for your skin! This fluffy, bronzey goodness will leave your skin soft, supple, glowy, and smelling absolutely DELICIOUS. Check out this viral small business on TikTok , including a vid showing how their body butter looks on different skin tones! Promising review : "This body butter is unlike anything I have ever tried! The consistency is perfect and I love the way it goes on the skin. Don’t even get me started on how amazing it smells! I also love the glowy shimmer it gives your skin." — Jessica Clark Get it from The Skincare Bakery for $14.40 (available in many scents and bundles, including the Bronzy body butter shown above). 33. A quality pair of silk pajamas worth every penny for how luxuriously soft and breathable they are — one reviewer even says they feel like being naked — with a slouchy oversized fit that won't feel suffocating. The best part: They're machine washable! Though I haven't tried this sleep set yet, I have a silk robe from Lunya that my sister-in-law got me a couple of years ago and it's hands-down the most luxurious thing I own. It's true 100% silk (like these PJs) and has the most incredible buttery soft texture to it — so I can only imagine what it'd feel like to fall asleep in one of their silk sets. Psst — you can check out more of their washable silk styles if you prefer a long-sleeve set, for instance. And see our guide to the best silk pajamas for more options elsewhere! Promising reviews : "I am so obsessed with this silk set. It is so comfortable to wear and the material is so soft. I live in Southern California, and this is the only thing I can wear in the summer. Unlike other material, this silk won’t add any warmth to your body. Just feels like being naked! Silk material does get wrinkle easily, but I don’t think these PJs wrinkle that bad, at least I don’t mind." — Smart10 "I cannot say enough how much I love Lunya silk pajamas. The sleep top is VERY oversized and loose, but in a good way. I find the photos of the fit on Lunya's website accurate, with the back of the top's length going past the shorts (I'm 5'5) . I find the shorts to be true to size. The best thing is these actually wash well and are so silky soft . I'm more of a neutrals fan, but ordered the pink and I'm obsessed." — JBJBJB33 Get them from Nordstrom for $198+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and seven colors). This exact set is sold out at Lunya, but they have a new version of it available for $198 (available in two colors) — the new set is at Nordstrom too if you like those colors! 34. A popular pair of criss-cross faux fur slippers that'll make you feel so fancy when you're drinking your morning coffee or relaxing in the evening. Reviewers swear these are cozy and warm despite the open-toe design, which also allows for circulation so your feet don't get sweaty, and their waterproof, anti-slip soles mean you can step outside in them too. Promising review : "I hate my feet being hot. There are sooo comfy, yet warm and let my toes breathe. Slipping into luxury. Wish I could buy three more! Highly recommend." — Amber Rose Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in women's sizes 5–10 and 16 colors). 35. And a splurge-worthy Barefoot Dreams robe reviewers rave about for its luxurious softness and cozy warmth. It'll really come in clutch after a hot shower (because stepping out into the cold air is the *worst*), but you'll probably want to wear it all day and pretend you're living at a day spa. Promising reviews : " My 'treat yourself to luxury' gift. I bought this robe last year for myself, and it was the best thing I could have given myself. I feel like a queen when I get out of the shower and wrap up in this soft, snuggly, cloud of a robe." — Miken Davis " If you want the softest, yummiest robe ever, this is for you! It engulfs you in softness, it breathes so you don’t *glisten* while wearing it. Mine is floor length, so I can pull my legs up on the couch or chair, and relax! I wish you could slip it on right now and feel its softness! It washes up beautifully too!" — Luvstawkin Get it from Amazon for $104.99+ (available in three colors and three sizes — size 1 is recommended for people 5'6" and under, size 2 is recommended for 5'6" to 6', and size 3 is recommended if you're over 6'). 36. A French-style marble butter keeper so you always have room-temp and perfectly spreadable butter on hand for your morning bagels and toast (because we all know the torture of trying to spread chilled butter). Promising review : "There are people who have this butter bowl and then there are savages. It’s like Zeus made a statue of himself and then carved the butter bowl out of that. I feel like society moved one step closer to true enlightenment with this invention. It really is the cats meow, and keeps our cat from licking the butter! " — Mike Get it from Amazon for $29.85 (available in three colors). 37. Clear fridge organizing bins if you saw the inside of Kris Jenner's fridge(s) and were like, "Honestly, slay." It won't just make your fridge look like something out of a magazine; it'll also help you get through all that expensive food you bought before it goes bad thanks to the clear design that lets you see everything at a glance. You can use these in your pantry too! Promising reviews : " If you watch all those TikTok videos that show people taking care of their fridge with perfect organization, these are definitely the storage units to start with! I personally love organization and wish I could use more of these in the fridge but my family doesn’t agree so...they can absolutely be used in other areas of the home as well!" — Aysha Mirza "Ok, I'm a bit of an over-organizer (if there is such a thing). But my refrigerator was seriously lacking in organization. These beauties did the trick. No more fruit rolling around, grapes being crushed, cheese sticks everywhere, cold cuts hiding . I love them. And they make keeping the refrigerator clean easy, pop them out and rinse." — DLWH Get a set of eight bins for $20.99 (also available in other sets). 38. A velvet cover for that stained couch you inherited from an old roommate — you can try out a new, chic color for relatively cheap! This one has nonslip straps that hold it in place even when rambunctious kiddos and energetic pups put it to the test. You get separate covers for each cushion, which is what makes it look so natural. (Don't worry, we won't tell.) It's also machine washable (so you can try out having a ~fancy~ white couch without long-term commitment or stress). Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and loveseat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." — Brian/Liz Get a slipcover for a three-cushion sofa from Amazon for $38.49 (available in 10 colors and four other sizes). 39. Waterfall faucets that'll inject a bit of fancy spa resort energy into your bathroom. Promising review: "Very impressed with the high-quality and thoughtful design of this sweet little waterfall bathroom faucet. It really upgraded and modernized the look of our bathroom, and it was a great relief to discard the dated, worn, corroded faucet it replaced. The installation was fairly straightforward and pain-free." — EHL Get it from Amazon for $34.43+ (available in four finishes). 40. And to make your showers feel just as fancy: An easy-to-install high-pressure rainfall showerhead with an adjustable extension arm so you can set your preferred angle and height. Check out how easy this is to set up in this TikTok ! Promising review (it's long but worth the read!): "Once upon a time, my overpriced apartment had a shower that required I stand on my tip-toes for prime water-stream positioning due to the shower's narrow position and my short stature. Why am I living like that, might you ask? Because this grad-school budget hasn't allowed for much else — OR SO I THOUGHT. This showerhead is well within a reasonable budget and goes well beyond the bang for its buck . I should have known I was in for a treat by the sleek stainless steel with chrome finish but my journey was only just beginning. For the independent handywoman I am, I was initially intimidated by installation as my plumbing expertise ends with removing hair from the drain. Luckily, it comes packaged with a small wrench and a single-paged instruction sheet that was within my attention span to follow. " We were up and running in under 10 minutes and I could not wait to hop in. Once I did, the luxury I experienced could've fooled me into thinking I was anywhere but my own shower. The stream is wide enough that I feel like I'm getting hugged by the goddess of the sea Amphitrite herself but still controlled to not spit on me if I step out of its line of fire. Its pressure, meanwhile, is soft enough to maximize relaxation while still giving enough strength to get all the shampoo out of my thick, unkempt hair. I would say more but I'd rather go shower for the third time today. I'll leave it at this: Love yourself and your shower mates. There's no reason not to — you all deserve this experience too." — Amazon Customer Get the shower head for $14.99+ (available in four finishes and five sizes) and the adjustable shower arm for $15.99+ (available in four finishes), both from Amazon. 41. Plus! A bundle of fresh eucalyptus for hanging in your shower to provide some luxe-feeling aromatherapy when it starts to steam up. Also, it just LOOKS nice. These bundles are put together and sold by Eucalyptus Blooms, a small woman-owned shop based in Charlotte, North Carolina. They come with a free hook for hanging it inside your shower! Promising reviews: "Exceeded my expectations!!! I received my bundle quickly and it was packaged well. Very fragrant and I appreciated the hook that was included with the bundle to hang it right in my shower. I am definitely enjoying the aroma of eucalyptus as I shower." — Mcjunkinst "Love this!!!! Will absolutely buy again. My eucalyptus bunch is still going strong after a couple of weeks. Adds a spa-like quality to my daily shower!!! " — elizabethghall09 Get it from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and in bundles). Shipping is free! 42. A pack of three under-cabinet lights that'll create ~ambient~ lighting so you're not always relying on those harsh overhead lights (which are *not* the vibe). Consider installing them in the kitchen so you're not fumbling around when you come in for water at night. It'll also accentuate your backsplash! These under-the-cabinet lights are battery-powered and come with a remote that will allow you to power them on and off, change their intensity, and set them to be motion-activated. Promising review: "I just remodeled my kitchen and wanted lights under my cabinets to give it a cozy feel. I wanted something easy to install but effective. These lights are great! You can adjust the brightness and can even put them on a timer so they turn off on their own after 15, 30, or 60 minutes. They come with a sticky tape to attach to cabinets but I also added sticky back Velcro and they have stayed on perfectly. The company sent me an email offering any assistance if I should need it. I absolutely LOVE them and would recommend." — Lisa Corey Get a pack of six from Amazon for $24.99 . 43. Waterproof, stain-resistant faux-marble granite adhesive so you can give new life to that old, scratched-up desk, vanity, or bathroom counter. It's *significantly* cheaper and quicker than a full remodeling, and you're not married to the final result if you change your mind down the road, as it peels off easily without leaving damage. It took most reviewers less than an hour to completely revamp their desks, and it was two hours *tops* for others (depending on how much space you're redoing!). Psst — If you pick this up, check out this reviewer's great installation tips for applying it to a desk! Promising review: "Wow, seriously love this stuff! Completely transformed the space I'm working on. I LOVE that it's shiny with a smooth finish... instantly felt luxurious especially compared to how it looked before! " — Natalie Logan Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in six sizes). 44. A bed canopy to make your bedroom feel like even more of cozy sanctuary and add a lil' extra privacy so you can lounge like the absolute royalty you are. 👑 Bonus: It can even help dull outside noise and hold in some warmth while you sleep. Hang some vines and/or fairy lights to really add to that fairytale vibe! It can also help serve as a room divider. Promising review: " Beautiful princess bed for a 31-year-old self-proclaimed princess . Initially, I was concerned that my ceiling fan in the middle of my room would be an issue, but it surprisingly was not. This product was very easy to assemble, instructions were thorough. I did not need to use wall anchors. It fit above my queen-sized bed perfectly. The product came perfectly intact inside the package and I have had this for a few months now and still no rips in it. Great way to add a unique touch to your simple, boring, or plain bedroom." — Stephanie Vaught Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (also available in black and another shape). 45. And a gorgeous velvet tufted headboard in case you want your bed to feel even *more* like the height of luxury. And to really feel like you're living in the world of Bridgerton , pick up a matching bench for the foot of the bed to tie this gorgeous look together. This is def a more expensive upgrade but worth considering if you feel like your bed setup needs a little extra oomph. Promising review: "You know how you hate buying something online because you're not sure if it's going to be crap? Well let me tell you, this is one of the best purchases I've made. It's excellent quality. The foam is nice and plush and you can't feel the board. If you ever need to move, the whole thing folds in half and the legs and all the part fit in a zipper compartment in the back for easy transport. Would be perfect for some one who stages homes because of how portable it is but the quality is A+." — T. Sayer Get it from Amazon for $171.25+ (available in two sizes and eight colors). 46. Premade wall panels that'll bring an interesting flair to plain walls and doors, adding just a dash of elegance without being distracting. Looking at these while you perform household chores might give you a little extra pep in your step. Some reviewers used mounting tape in their apartments for a no-damage-to-the-walls installation while others added these panels onto their doors and kitchen islands! Promising review: "Moldings came in well-packed and quickly. Super easy to install. Used white lightning-speed grip from Sherwin-Williams to adhere the panels. These panels gave a 'high-end' look to an otherwise drab wall and peninsula. So classic and affordable and it will never go out of style! I ordered four too many and had no problem returning for a full refund. I would HIGHLY recommend this product for a custom-designed look. Use your imagination!" — JM Get a single panel from Amazon starting at $12.15+ (available in many sizes). 47. Elegant sheer curtains to replace your dark, heavy ones, because it'll help brighten up a room and let that good sunlight stream in. It helps make the room feel bigger, too. If you don't want to get rid of your blackout curtains entirely, you can always layer them with sheers and keep them tied back when not in use! I switched to sheer curtains when I moved into my new NYC apartment over a year ago, and I honestly feel a bit more luxurious just having them around and seeing them lightly sway when I have my window open and they catch a breeze. They're just the best!! Promising reviews: "I LOVE THESE! I was looking for something to brighten my apartment up and to make it feel bigger . I’m so, so, so glad I decided to go with these! I was so scared while opening them. I ordered four white 95-inch sets. I just threw them in the dryer for two to three minutes to de-wrinkle them and hung them. These are amazingly cheap for how nice they are! Definitely makes my apartment feel like HOME . I would recommend these to anyone." — Amazon Customer "After quotes of $3,000 for blinds, I decided to rethink our window dressing and ordered these sheer curtains. They have brought elegance and luxury to our home. Highly recommended. Better than the blinds I was looking at!!" — Paul M. Hammond Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 15 sizes and 23 colors). 48. And gorgeous velvet curtains that'd look lovely paired with sheers or on their own, bringing a chic, polished look while also insulating to keep a room cool thanks to their thermal lining. Reviewers rave about the weighty luxurious feel of these. Get a closer look at these on TikTok ! Note that the listing describes these as "blackout" curtains, but some light may still filter through if you get a lighter color. Promising review : "Gorgeous, gorgeous gorgeous!!! I did a lot of homework on finding the perfect curtains for our new home addition. I needed a lot of them, something pretty, full, and good insulation. It could get very expensive, these were more than I could have wanted, and at such a great price...I ended up getting the longer ones because they cost less (I needed 12 panels). As a result of longer ones, they are fuller on the bottom, look so lovely, and I get all the compliments. My mom is a designer and I grew up being particular about fabric and how things are made, these are well-constructed and have gorgeous lining, lots of detail put into these , thank you!! Also, they are true to color ;)" — Mrs. Get them from Amazon for $39.96+ (available in 31 colors and nine sizes). 49.

The S&P 500 rose 0.2% from its all-time high set on Friday to post a record for the 54th time this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 128 points, or 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. Super Micro Computer, a stock that’s been on an AI-driven roller coaster, soared 28.7% to lead the market. Following allegations of misconduct and the resignation of its public auditor , the maker of servers used in artificial-intelligence technology said an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or by the company’s board. It also said that it doesn’t expect to restate its past financials and that it will find a new chief financial officer, appoint a general counsel and make other moves to strengthen its governance. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up the market. Gains of 1.8% for Microsoft and 3.2% for Meta Platforms were the two strongest forces pushing upward on the S&P 500. Intel was another propellant during the morning, but it lost an early gain to fall 0.5% after the chip company said CEO Pat Gelsinger has retired and stepped down from the board. Intel is looking for Gelsinger’s replacement, and its chair said it’s “committed to restoring investor confidence.” Intel recently lost its spot in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to Nvidia, which has skyrocketed in Wall Street’s frenzy around AI. Stellantis, meanwhile, skidded following the announcement of its CEO’s departure . Carlos Tavares steps down after nearly four years in the top spot of the automaker, which owns car brands like Jeep, Citroën and Ram, amid an ongoing struggle with slumping sales and an inventory backlog at dealerships. The world’s fourth-largest automaker’s stock fell 6.3% in Milan. The majority of stocks in the S&P 500 likewise fell, including California utility PG&E. It dropped 5% after saying it would sell $2.4 billion of stock and preferred shares to raise cash. Retailers were mixed amid what’s expected to be the best Cyber Monday on record and coming off Black Friday . Target, which recently gave a forecast for the holiday season that left investors discouraged , fell 1.2%. Walmart , which gave a more optimistic forecast, rose 0.2%. Amazon, which looks to benefit from online sales from Cyber Monday, climbed 1.4%. All told, the S&P 500 added 14.77 points to 6,047.15. The Dow fell 128.65 to 44,782.00, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 185.78 to 19,403.95. The stock market largely took Donald Trump’s latest threat on tariffs in stride. The president-elect on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a group of developing economies if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. Trump said he wants the group, headlined by Brazil, Russia, India and China, to promise it won’t create a new currency or otherwise try to undercut the U.S. dollar. The dollar has long been the currency of choice for global trade. Speculation has also been around a long time that other currencies could knock it off its mantle, but no contender has come close. The U.S. dollar’s value rose Monday against several other currencies, but one of its strongest moves likely had less to do with the tariff threats. The euro fell amid a political battle in Paris over the French government’s budget . The euro sank 0.7% against the U.S. dollar and broke below $1.05. In the bond market, Treasury yields gave up early gains to hold relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed above 4.23% during the morning before falling back to 4.19%. That was just above its level of 4.18% late Friday. A report in the morning showed the U.S. manufacturing sector contracted again last month, but not by as much as economists expected. This upcoming week will bring several big updates on the job market, including the October job openings report, weekly unemployment benefits data and the all-important November jobs report. They could steer the next moves for Federal Reserve, which recently began pulling interest rates lower to give support to the economy. Economists expect Friday’s headliner report to show U.S. employers accelerated their hiring in November, coming off October’s lackluster growth that was hampered by damaging hurricanes and strikes. “We now find ourselves in the middle of this Goldilocks zone, where economic health supports earnings growth while remaining weak enough to justify potential Fed rate cuts,” according to Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide. In financial markets abroad, Chinese stocks led gains worldwide as monthly surveys showed improving conditions for manufacturing, partly driven by a surge in orders ahead of Trump’s inauguration next month. Both official and private sector surveys of factory managers showed strong new orders and export orders, possibly partly linked to efforts by importers in the U.S. to beat potential tariff hikes by Trump once he takes office. Indexes rose 0.7% in Hong Kong and 1.1% in Shanghai.
